Firstly - well done on the NetBSD1.0 - it's working wonderfully well
for us.
I have one question though - our machines are currently set as dual-boot
with the default being an MSDos 6.x partition at the start of the hard drive
and NetBSD at the 'end' of the same hard drive (second partition on it).
How can I get at the MSDos partition from the NetBSD partition? I know I need
to use mount_msdos - but which device should I go for (or create) ?
