OK, that's easily done.  But not for a few days yet... ;-)

Can I use partition numbers (letters) 8-15 (i-o) on the FreeBSD
slice without upsetting the disk?  I guess FreeBSD will panic if
I try booting that disk on the other machine in the future?

Cool, I just looked at this.  There was nothing about other
filesystems in the FAQ sections, but in The NetBSD guide,
Section 5.4 has the information on mounting an MSDOS
partition, which can be extrapolated to mounting other
types of filesystems.  I guess this would also work for an
NTFS or HPFS filesystem?

Would it be worth putting some simple examples into the
FAQ section on the main Documentation page?
