Yes.  My main disk has a 511MB HFS partition and a 1.2GB HFS+ partition.
MacOS (8.1) on 68K won't even reboot or shutdown unless I power the disk
off.  The PowerPC card has no such problem.  There's an extension that I
think is supposed to cure the problem (trashes temporary items on shutdown,
or somesuch), but I haven't tried it yet.

So, I shut off the main drive and boot from a secondary drive when I
want to run NetBSD.

Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic
without looking to see whether the seeds move.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
