From NetBSD-daily I installed latest NetBSD 3-BETA using sysinst.

I didn't see any option to create a boot selector. I did install NetBSD to 
my first slice on wd0.

When I rebooted, FreeBSD came up. I have FreeBSD on its ad0s3 -- which is 
my third slice on same (and only harddisk).

I attempted to create boot loader in FreeBSD with its:

fdisk -B -b ad0

But rebooting said "Invalid partition table".

So I reboot again to sysinst and from the shell I run:

fdisk -c /usr/mdec/mbr_bootsel /dev/wd0

Then after reboot it gives me a prompt:

Fn:

But no choices and says error whatever I press except Enter.

And it takes me back to FreeBSD.

From NetBSD, I also tried:

installboot -v /dev/rwd0e /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2

I tried several different things rebooting back and forth between FreeBSD 
and NetBSD. But it is a slow process.

Any ideas for NetBSD on how to get my boot menu? (Or FreeBSD ideas?)

I want a choice at menu to boot: NetBSD first fdisk partition or FreeBSD 
at third fdisk partition.

FreeBSD tells me:

glacier# fdisk ad0
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=77520 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=77520 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
