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...

This may be a trivial thing to do, or Free & Net may have done something like
change the ID byte of the FS, or maybe even something a bit more non-trivial.

Anyone in the know out there, it certainly sounds plausible.

BTW I am still using 386BSD with the unoffical patchkit, so I haven't yet
caught my religion for either direction. I am just looking towards trying out
both and I do not want to mess around unnecessarily with my local source area.

Thanks,
