2009-05-15 Thread Chuck Robey
Need to confirm some details about creating ext2fs partitions. Since I can't mount any part of my FreeBSD disk from OpenBSD, I need a filesystem on my OpenBSD disk that FreeBSD can read, and the only one I'm sure about here is the ext2fs fs. So, I need to take the currently created FFS partition
