while impatiently waiting for 2.0, I've been playing a bit. I write this 
in part to report my findings, and in part to ask some questions.

I have an iMac DV SE on which I have been running Mac OS 9 and NetBSD 
1.6 for a while. Now I've installed OS X as well.

Here's my partition map shown from netbsd-pdisk:

Using System Disk 2.3.1 while running booted in Mac OS 9 (not 
Classic/Blue Box) I've managed to set the boot command to boot 
hd:8,ofwboot.xcf hd:9,/netbsd

I can now boot into NetBSD by default, or hold down the option key and 
boot either Mac OS X (partition #8) or Mac OS 9 (partition #12).

I have noticed that I can mount the Apple_UFS partition in NetBSD 
without any apparent problems. Is it safe to do so? Are Apple UFS and 
FFS 100% compatible?

Could I change all the Apple_UNIX_SVR2 partitions to Apple_UFS 
partitions and still run NetBSD on them? That would make the entire 
NetBSD disk space accessible from MacOS X, which would be very 
convenient.
