Chad,

I saw your question but couldn't think of a proper answer.

I generally shy away from any multiboot situation since I have few
machines with me. Even then I too have to multiboot once in a while.

Anyway coming back to the point.

If FFS2 and EXT3 are ruled out, then what is remaining? ;)

XFS?

It is a tough choice indeed. Of course you could do a diskless boot off
an NFS and use that as file system for communication between the two
OSes.

But for that you need another machine connected over LAN running NFS of
course.

Sorry if my answer was irrelevant but this is the best I could do.

Thanks.
