Just wondering if anyone had any pointers/tips on getting
Linux and NetBSD co-existing on the one machine.  NetBSD is
on the first drive it exists on one NetBSD partition which
is divided into three NetBSD partitions.  Linux is on
the 2nd drive.

The problem is that Lilo doesnt like the way NetBSD has created
its partition.  DOS fdisk has a problem with the NetBSD partition
too.

On a related note, is there a file system device driver that
NetBSD and Linux share??

Finally I'd like to be able to cross compile to NetBSD from
Linux, is this as simple as getting the correct gnu binutils
package?
