Hmmm. This sounds a good plan. Would the following then work
(I'm using `partition' to refer to a fdisk partition, and `file
system' to refer to a BSD partition):
* I partition my drive into 4 equal partitions (rather than 2;
this gives me more future flexibility)
* I install 2.2.8 in the first partition.
* I change the type to something other than FreeBSD
* I install 3.2 into the second partition
* I change the type of the first partition back to FreeBSD
* I install os-bs or some other boot selector
* And now, hopefully, I can simply boot either from the boot
selector menu?
