    hi there,

    i wish to install 5.4-p? and 6.0-current (to be release) on the same disk of
    a single
    machine for to test the 6-0-current.

    however, the disklabel of the recent 6.0-current resist to co-operate with
    that of
    the 5.4-p?. i.e. when i have installed 5.4-p?, and then 6.0-current,
    disklabel information
    would be lost.

    i had "cd /usr/src/release; make release ........" to produce both install
    and boot
    CDs for 6-0-current of i386 and amd64 and tried installing for co-existence
    of the
    5.4-release partitions, in vain: everytime i install the 6.0-current, the
    disklabel
    on the 5.4-p? were erased.

    should any kind folks please indicate the way to make them co-exist on the
    same machine?

    best regards,

    clarence chu
