Hmmm. I was told to have "/" , "/usr", "/var" and "/tmp" on different
partitions so you could mount the big ones read-only when trying; as far
as I know, netbsd boots ok with all mounts read-only exept /tmp and /var; 
since they are rel. small (64 + 128 M in my case). Checking them is very
fast. So you could think of expirimenting with your dev. code in
/var/whatever and syncing before you try to crash it :-) 

Cheers,
