I have been able to get tiny BSD up across my whole disk, but I'd
dearly like to have it co-exist with DOS. I don't have Disk Manager, 
but I do have Norton. I do not seem able to alter the partition type
in the way described in the documentation. Can anyone suggest a way
this can be done? If I knew the byte offsets and values for the second
MSDOS 5.0 partition, I could find them and change them so BSD can
see it. At the moment it just doesn't see the partitions. Perhaps
there is a way to do this with something on the fixit disk?
