Welp, I am sure that there is a better way to do this, but I have dos on
drive C: and NetBSD on D:, so I just reboot with the kcbt boot disk in A:
and when the initial thing comes up instead of hitting return to load the
kernel off the floppy I type in wd(1,a)/netbsd to load from D: and the
system takes over from there and it all works off the HD from that point.
Hope this helps
