>Description:
Using mbr_bootsel from -current, the bootblock is installed but will
only boot the "active" partition, whether that is C: (WinME) or NetBSD. No
menu is displayed. Using "more" on /dev/rwd0d shows the bootblock has been
installed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a bootblock using mbr_bootsel on a system with FAT32 as
the first partition and NetBSD as the third (extended in themiddle).
