   While people are answer mode, if I wanted to try both Free and Net
   BSD could I install them both and have a seperate partition for all
   of my local source and random files that could be mounted by
   *BOTH*. An added bonus would also allow the original 386BSD and/or
   BSDI partitions to be mounted as well...

I see no reason why this wouldn't work.  You'd need to pay careful
attention what fdisk tells you for both systems, but yes, there should
be no trouble (unless you're on some weird funky IDE setup of course,
in which case you'd have to ask somebody else as I only really know
SCSI).
