Hi

I have used MacOSX's pdisk to split an old HFS partition
into one HFS and one Apple_Unix_SRV2 partition.
However, the latter, which I'd like to format in FFS
(in fact in MSDOS but that is the next question...)
does not appear under NetBSD when typing 'disklabel wd0'

How can I acess this partition ? what went wrong ??


Second question : can I format a partition in MSDOS file format ?
I tried newfs_msdos /dev/wd0d but it did not work...
(because this is a partition I'd like to share between MacOS and NetBSD
 and it seems MSDOS is the only file system available on both sides...
 am I right ?)

Thanks in advance !
