To the both of you, thanks for the help. One more question.=20
So how would I actually install NetBSD over my current linux
partition? I would boot the cd, and is there some tool the detects the
current linux partition? Here's my current /etc/fstab for Linux.
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults,errors=3Dremount-ro 0 =
1
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
