I have a box with NetBSD 1.6 on it that I want to turn into a FreeBSD box, while retaining the information in the user directories. Is this possible with the FreeBSD 4.7 install CD-ROM? That is, can I say during setup "don't reformat or re-partition, but just use the / and /usr that is already on this disk"?
