I only mount the NetBSD partitions read-only and when running NetBSD, mount the FreeBSD ones read-only. There are some subtle differences as to how the disklabels are organised, which can result in some error messages being dumped to the console when you mount them (I think that's when), depending on which versions of both operating systems are in use.
