It is doable, if I remember right BeOS has NFS capability or AFS, personally I like AFS for this type of work a little bit better but NFS is more popular and I believe more supported. You need to share out your partition that you want to use from your machine. If it was a MS compatable partition you could even use samba and then it wouldn't matter wich OS was up as long as you remounted it when you rebooted the serving machine. In any case you need to have the OS on the machine with the hard drive you wish to mount share it out so as the machine you are using can see the mount point, if you use NFS, AFS, Samba or some other network capable file system is completely up to you.

Hello, I don't know if I stumped the band or just asked an incredibly dumb question. I just can't stand the silent treatment so I'm asking again. If it is a dumb question, just say so.....I'll get over it. ;-) Here it is: I have a partition on another machine that I would like to use for storage from this machine. How can I mount it? The machine in question is partitioned: Win98, BeOS, and an empty ext2 partition, which is the one I want to access. Is this doable? What the heck do I use, as I'm (still) drawing a blank.
