I have a couple of NetBSD bootblock questions...
1. If I have my root partition set up with 0 blocks reserved for the
bootblock
(as it had to be for 1.2 and before), I assume that I will have to dump
the filesystem, change the parameters in HDToolbox, then boot NetBSD,
newfs
the partition again, the restore the filesystem. Is that about it?
2. I have an A2632 that needs a specific addmem type command in
s:user-startup
for the memory to be seen. Since a bootblock started NetBSD doesn't do
this
sort of thing, can I assume that I have to boot via AmigaOS?
Thanks,
Phil.
