Hi,
is it possible to install two OpenBSDs on the same disk? I'd
like to try -current in a separate installation.
As I understand disklabels I would need separate disklabels
for each installation, because I need two separate root 'b'
partitions.
So I would create two fdisk partitions one for each system,
and the two disklabels would be stored on the LBR of these
partitions.
Is this the way to go? Is it a bad idea? Any pitfalls?
There should be no problem with that.
I have a large case, so I just added another disk for experimentation.
However, I would be curious if when doing a one disk situation, would it
be ok to use the same swap and tmp and home for both versions?
