>Description:
When installing NetBSD, at one point the boot loader is configured;
which partitions should be active, in which you want to install NetBSD etc.
At this point, one can select the partition that should be booted by default.

In my most recent installations, I tried using this on a dual-boot system
to boot the other operating system by default -- this was ignored, NetBSD
was always the default.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install on a dual-boot system, try to make the other system the default boot
one.
