I've learnt some BSD at work the last few months, now I want to do some
(real) work at home. My NT machine has 4 1G partitions, the last as yet
unused. Can I install and run NetBSD from there, with some sort of
statup option (as DOS is allowed)? I have found a few fragments oof docs
that seem to think its posible, but I am not certain how. Also, how do I
actually get NetBSD on it (with stiffies)? Lastly, how will NT see/react
to this drive, and will I be able to copy to/from the other drives, no
matter which OS is running? I did not install NT with the NTFS.
