Hi all!
On a small 'what-if' journey here.
I'm wondering what would happen if I yanked the drive out of my Qube2
and actually reinstalled NetBSD on it, but on/in another machine...
Now before anyone comes to think I've lost my mind, I realize that the
Qube2 is a MIPS platform...my only other machine is x86, so clearly all
kinds of stuff would compile differently............or would it?
Just what *would* happen if I did that?
The reason I'm even wondering this is because there are some partitions
that don't look right, my entire 80GB disc isn't recognized (as it
happens, this isn't a big deal at present) and the swap partition isn't
right....I know it's there, but it's reported differently by a) top b)
df -m and c) webmin.
I can post the output of all 3 if anyone wants to take a look.
Right now stuff is working...errmmmm...'well enough' but I wondered if
anyone could share their thoughts on the matter.
