Hi: Recently I installed NetBSD, then found FreeBSD wouldn't start. I had this problem before and believed it was due to a bug in the NetBSD Boot Selector, which I avoided installing. But this time it looked as if my FreeBSD Partition got wiped completely. Re-trying, it looked like NetBSD spotted the FreeBSD FFSv2 Partition and decided to assign it a Mount Point of "/". This is listed if you look closely under "NetBSD Disklabel Partitions... last chance to change". I edited that Mount Point away and afterwards my (reinstalled) FreeBSD was still present. Hey, I'm glad I keep my Data on a separate Partition. Am I the only guy who didn't know about this? Yours Truly: Frank Mitchell
