>Description:
Installing NetBSD 2.0 RC1 from a CDROM on an i386 platform does not leave a bootable OS if you select serial bootblocks instead of BIOS console.
I have tried using the bootselector or the bootcode in the MBR and either way the machine fails to find an OS to boot on restart.
>How-To-Repeat:
Go through install process on i386 platform and select serial bootblocks instead of BIOS console.
