For your question, the answer is essentially "where it fits".
If you, for example have the netbsd source tree available over NFS, the
reasonable place to mount it would be under /usr/src
If you have user home directories over NFS, /home might be a good place.
It does not make sense to have a g
Hi, all!
I'm wondering, what's the best location for a client machine to
permanently mount NFS remote file systems?
I was thinking
/mnt/
or maybe (but I'm less convinced that encoding the type of the remote
file system in the path is a good idea):
/mnt/nfs/
However, in hier(7)

unmounting flushes caches, so all writes will be done when umount
returns.

It is safe to unplug the device when you have unmounted the filesystem.

They both point to 1 sector or 64 block. Also, you must have booting

Yes, this is amd64. The magic number is there, indeed:

If the subject line isn't clear, I hope the explanations will be:
Context: I'm testing an ARM Soc (Olimex Lime2 based on Allwinner A20
and earmv7hf proc) and the board has a SATA port and is able to power
a 2.5" HDD but not a 3.5" one.
I have then to connect an external disk (3.5" HDD) with its o

What is the rationale? I expect that to destroy the GPT.

I understand NetBSD EFI bootstrap does not support multiboot, so I
should use BIOS boot.
I installed /boot, ran installboot and gpt biosboot. Here is fdisk
output for the disk:

I try to boot NetBSD/Xen from a GPT, with little success.
I understand NetBSD EFI bootstrap does not support multiboot, so I
should use BIOS boot.
I installed /boot, ran installboot and gpt biosboot. Here is fdisk
output for the disk:
Partition table:
0: GPT Protective MBR (sysid 238)
I would re-open the PR.
