An INSTALL kernel will contain installboot and fdisk and
/usr/mdec in the ramdisk.  This should be enough to
frob it into submission.

Basically, install a NetBSD MBR with fdisk, and set
the active MBR partition to the one that contains the
NetBSD install.

I've had to do this after a Windows install far too often.
