Hi,

I have the current setup:
A PC with IDE controller with one IDE-drive, and NetBSD on that disk.
NetBSD uses the whole disk (3 partitions, root, usr and swap). IDE is
slow, and I have a SCSI2 disk that I would like to use instead.

What I'm wondering about now is: Can I just make 3 partitions on that
disk, e.g.: root 200MB, swap 128MB, usr 4GB, make the repective
filesystems on those partitions, and copy the OS with cp from onedisk to
another, and throw away that IDE junk once and for all?

thanks in advance,
