hi,

i am just testing dual-boot Solaris/NetBSD installation on SPARCstation 5.

i first installed Solaris, i partitioned my disk with 'format' to slices, first
one for Solaris, second for Solaris's swap, (third is whole disk), fourth and
fifth i just created but left as unassigned. then i installed Solaris.

after this i netbooted NetBSD, created disklabel in according to my previous
Solaris vtoc: first and second slice i left unused, fourth as bsdroot and
fifth as bsd swap.

the problem i am fighting with is that NetBSD overwrites Solaris's vtoc with
its disklabel and vice versa, so when i boot to Solaris again, disk is
unlabelled. if i create new vtoc identical as first one, NetBSD will lose its
disklabel..

does any solution for this case exist?
