When I use fdisk to create a partition for NetBSD, what kind of partition should I create? Fdisk wont create a non-dos partition ... ? 2. Fdisk doesn't tell me the offset or precise size, how do I figure them out? (It doesn't mention cylinders at all, only K.) 3. I should make the partition of type 0xA5 with a partition editor; where can I find one (ftp)? 4. Why can't NetBSD use the same install procedure as 386BSD (which didn't require a clue)? Thanks much, Chris
