I'd like to partition my 325MB drive to
15MB for DOS and 310MB for NetBSD.  I would 
like to know what the starting sector and
the offset sectors numbers are --
I never got them right.

My drvive has 1010 cylinders, 12 heads and 55
sectors per head.  15MB used 46 cylinders.

Also, I have a second drive which is 240MB, 
can I install OS/2 on the second drive and
boot from the first drive -- I have 15MB for
DOS in the first drive?


Thanks in advance.
