I partitioned and am currently using an 8G drive for AmigaOS and NetBSD.
AmigaOS uses space below the 4G limit except the NetBSD's root parition t=
hat
occupy the last sectors within the 4G limit. Everything above is being us=
ed
by NetBSD. And yes, I did it using the "old" hdfoolbox of OS3.1. You prob=
ably
can do the same even if you need to e.g. map a 3.1 kick.rom image in orde=
r to
use the 3.1 tools. You just have to ignore some weird numbers you will ge=
t
about the drive's or partition's sizes (you may have them negative for
example) in hdtoolbox's point of view...
