>Description:

	This is my setup:

$ fdisk wd0

	If I install mbr_bootsel into wd0, NetBSD can boot but
	not Vista. Note the NTFS Vista partition starts at sector
	2048 and not 63.

	GNU GRUB can boot Vista without any problem, perhaps a
	problem loading the PBR? (unknown size? too big?).

	Yes, please.
