>Description:

When I installed the released version of NetBSD 1.5.1 it did not load the boot loader....

Let me explain:-

In the screen where it says something along the lines of 'NetBSD has detected another operating system (Windows NT) would you like to install the multi-boot bootloader'. I said yes (and it did work with 1.5 on this machine) and nothing was installed.

If I install the boot floppy and type boot sd0a:netbsd it will boot and work perfectly.....

Can you please advise how I can install this boot loader after the machine has been built?

Thanks,

Brett Hales

PS I tried the above twice and both times nothing seems to have written....
