When I went in to repartition the disk for DOS, DOS reported that the drive was only 523Mb (1023cyl, 64h, 63sec/tr), rather than the true geometry (2100cyl, 64h, 63sec/tr) but I didn’t worry about it. Next I created my DOS partition. I partitioned the disk so that cylinders 1-999 were DOS. That left cylinders 1000-1023 for NetBSD. Lots of room! 🙂 Anyway, on a hunch, a friend and I were hoping NetBSD didn’t look at the ending cylinder entry (1023) of the partition table. Next I calculated the length of the partition from 1000-2100, put this into the partition table using the disk editor. The numbers weren’t consistent in the partition table, but DOS ignored the Non-DOS partition, NetBSD was happy…and we’ve (DOS, NetBSD and my remaining hair) all lived happily ever after…. [Ed.Note. The partition table needs to correctly identif
