Can anyone give me the Readers Digest version of how to get 
DOS ans NetBSD to boot up nicely while co-existing on the same
disk.
Is there a certain sequence you have to follow?

I managed to get the os-bs135 boot manager working with 

DOS-6.2x...........1
NetBSD-1.0.........2 # when I hit number 2 i get..
No operating system

I know it's there, I just installed it. I put it at cyl 410.


Here's the results of my "pfdisk 0" command.

geometry 1023 16 63 ( cyl heads sectors )
# ID  First(cyl)  Last(cyl)  Name	# start,   length  (sectors)
1 6	0	    406	      DOSbi	# 63,  410193
2 9	408	   1022	      UNIX	# 411264, 619920
3 0 	0	      0	       MBS	# 0, 0
4 0	0             0			# 0, 0

What ID do I use for NetBSD? I've been guessing up til now.

Also, when the system ask do I overwrite the DOS partition table,
do I answer yes, or go with the default [n]?

Thanks...
