This must be a common question; sorry.  I want to be able to pick at boot
time between booting netbsd from an IDE disk and booting MSDOS from a SCSI
disk.

I have two disks, an ~400MB IDE disk (wd0), and a 1.2GB SCSI disk (sd0)
with an Adaptec 1542 controller.  On wd0 I think I have no DOS partition
table at all, and three netbsd partitions (root and two swap areas).  On
sd0 I have a DOS partition and three netbsd partitions (two ufs and one
swap).

NetBSD boots from wd0a.  I would like to be able to tell the boot program
to boot MSDOS from sd0a instead.

Can anyone point me at the program I'm looking for?

Here in case useful are the output of `fdisk' and `disklabel' on my two disks:
