Hi NetBSDers,

  I run NetBSD on my office Sparc, but one I tryed to
install NetBSD on my homebrew PC (plain 486dx2/60/16M RAm/1.3G disk).
  The installation process nearly made me loose my Linux partitions.
Not a problem for the system which can be reinstalled everyday
(there's allways a new kernel ;-), but that was painful for
my own production.
  I tried NetBSD on my PC 1 year ago. I wonder if the most recent
releases can cope with `fdisk' partitions, just like *most*
Unixes on PC : Solaris, SCO and Linux (perhaps more I don't know).

  Is these any differences if I try with FreeBSD ?
