hi,

I successfully installed and configured NetBSD 1.4 on my Pentium III
450Mhz w/ two IDE disks.  I installed it on the first IDE disk which is
27 Gigs and put it in the 3rd primary partition.  Everything went A-OK
:)  Trouble is, I've been reinstalling NetBSd to try to get it to end
it's partition on a cylinder boundary so Partition Magic and Linux LILO
won't complain.  I'm not so concerned with Lilo, but Partition Magic
won't even start it if detects a partition does not end on a cylinder
boundary.  SOO.. my question is, how should I go about calculating where
I need to end my netbsd partition to achieve the results I want?  Thanks
for the help guys..
