Bootblocks...



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.
