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...
