Hello!

Since NetBSD/amiga doesn't have write support for AmigaDOS FFS partitions
and since the available BFFSFilesystem for AmigaOS doesn't support partitions
beyound >4GB I needed a new approach to exchange data between NetBSD and
AmigaOS. The only filesystem that both AmigaOS and NetBSD support for
reading and writing is the MSDOS FAT filesystem. To really get it working
a small patch to adosglue.h and disksubr.c is required. The patch is attached.
I was able to mount a FAT partition successfully. Maybe others find it useful
too.
