>Description:
NetBSD's Install Utility seems pre-programmed to grab any UFS Partition it 
sees, including the one containing your FreeBSD Setup. Then your entire FreeBSD 
contents vanish, though I'm told they can be recovered with a utility on the 
Linux Rescue Disk. In the latest NetBSD Version there seems to be no way of 
avoiding this happening.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reserve two UFS Partions. Install FreeBSD on one, then NetBSD on the other.
>Fix:
Modify the NetBSD Install Utility to highlight this as an option.
