I was wondering if anyone could contrast the format of partitions
made by NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, and any of those available under
SVR4 (my current system).  I am slowly preparing for bringing up
FreeBSD on my new system, and I'd like to know more.  If this is answered
somewhere else, a pointer to it would be appreciated.
