How to create a dedicated side bar menu in Bootstrap

I am really new to Bootstrap and have been fooling around with it. I want to make something like the following:

Main menu

side bar | content

side bar | other content

What I have done so far was to make span4 class in each row for the side bar, but is there a way to dedicate that side of the page to the side menu and have the other side for content, etc?

EDIT: I am using Bootstrap 2.3.2., not the new 3.0 RC.

do you mean as in the example here: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/examples/fluid.html - if so, the markup for the body is: 

 <body>

<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="navbar-inner">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      </button>
      <a class="brand" href="#">Project name</a>
      <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
        <p class="navbar-text pull-right">
          Logged in as <a href="#" class="navbar-link">Username</a>
        </p>
        <ul class="nav">
          <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row-fluid">
    <div class="span3">
      <div class="well sidebar-nav">
        <ul class="nav nav-list">
          <li class="nav-header">Sidebar</li>
          <li class="active"><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li class="nav-header">Sidebar</li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
