I have a dos5.0 partition (32mb), an extended 5.0 partition (32mb), and a 77mb 386BSD partition. If I were to decide I don't need the 32mb extended dos partition, is there a way I can safely delete it and mount it as a 386BSD filesystem? Before I blow away my whole disk ... is it as simple as just using dos fdisk to delete the extended partition, then using newfs to create the filesystem on 386BSD? What would the device name be?
