Hi,

Before explaining my problem I should describe what I want to do.

At home I'm running FreeBSD-2.0. At work I'm working on DEC-Alphas
with OSF1. I would like to use a hard disk to carry files between
the two systems. 

I know it is possible because I've done it, but I cannot do it again.
Problems are with disk labels. When I disklabel the disk on FreeBSD,
I cannot read it on OSF1, and vice versa. I've only tested the
configuration where the full disk is used for FreeBSD/OSF1.  

Any idea ?

PS: Could somebody explain me how labels, DOS partitions tables, etc
    are written on the disk ? Or tell me where I could find something
    that describe this. For FreeBSD of course.
