@techokami@woof.tech it sounds like Linux finds only the whole partition but not multiple file systems inside (assuming you went for separate root and usr file systems?) The right mount invocation is a bit cryptic then but seems to be described here: https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_mount_ffs_partition_under_linux/
Edit: nope the link doesn't explain all too much 🥲

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt @MrDOS@hachyderm.io @plzupgrademe@fedi.txw.ca @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org Yeah I had already read this first. The information seems really stale as it refers to Linux 2.6.x! :blobfox0_0: But even then, yeah it looks like Linux can *only* see the whole partition but not the individual slices... Hmmmm... I might reinstall and start over since the actual install was actually pretty fast. But, critical question: is it *MANDATORY* that NetBSD use FFS? Or can I use a different file system that might play nicer with Linux? I know ZFS is out of the question here, I already read the docs for that and it's messy.
