I have a machine with 325M hard drive partitioned as 80M for DOS (cyls
0-248) and 245M (cyls 249-1010) for 386BSD. I would like do the
following:

Increase 386BSD partition size to 245+x, decrease the size of the DOS
partition appropriately and also increase the swap space size from the
default to say 30M. Is there any way to do this without reinstalling
386BSD from scratch? What if I decided to use the whole disk for 386BSD?
Is it any easier to do the above? 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Natraj.
