Hi all

I'm planning to install NetBSD and FreeBSD on the same disk (currently
they are on two different). The thing is that I would like to share
/home and swap, also in the same disk.

My question... where should I place those two partitions? In NetBSD's
disklabel or FreeBSD's one? Let me say some things:
- If I add those two partitions to FreeBSD's disklabel, I'll have to
  add them by hand in NetBSD's disklabel, right?
- If I add those two partitions to NetBSD's disklabel, FreeBSD will be
  able to access them directly, though it will give some weird
  warnings.

Second option is simpler, but first is cooler ;) What would you do?

Thanks!

Of course it runs NetBSD - http://www.netbsd.org
