  1. Well, that's an intelligent story by The+FooMiester · · Score: 5, Informative
    No links to netBSD from slashdot. I guess that's why MY submission of the story was rejected.

    Here ya go, click and drool:

    netbsd.org
    ftp.netbsd.org
    official text of the release
    Mirror listing, for when the ftp server gets slashdotted

    I installed NetBSD on a machine that has windows and it recgonized the windows partition and allows me to boot of that partition.

    I also have netbsd installed on what used to be the windows d drive so I'm sure it is possible to boot from the non-first hd.

    lastly you'd be best off visting the netbsd.org web site and seeing if there is support for the hard drive you mention. I'd suspect it would work, unless there is something really weird about the drive.
