>Description:
	Setting up Windows 95 to be able to boot NetBSD is more
	difficult than it looks, and fraught with many subtle,
	important points. Likewise for setting up Windows to
	automatically reboot to NetBSD at a certain time.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Waste a lot of time trying to get it right.
>Fix:
	Write a man page describing the process so others won't have to
	figure it out for themselves.

	The patch to dosboot.8 also cleans up some extra blank lines
	and makes a few other minor cleanups.

	The w95boot.8 man page does need fixing -- someone should look
	at the .Pa directive that needs 17 (count 'em, 17!) backslashes
	to get backslash into the output. There _has_ to be a better
	way, but I'm not a mandoc guru...
