Hi all,

I have a PII with Windows NT on the first disk drive (wd0) and NetBSD
1.4.1 on the second disk drive (wd1). I put a 66 MB DOS partition at the
beginning of wd1 so I can boot a minimal DOS and hold the distribution;
the reset of the disk is for NetBSD.

I do not want to touch the WinNT disk. Currently, I boot the NetBSD system
from the install floppy (hit the space bar then type "boot wd1a:netbsd").

If I want to improve things, I have two options.

1) One of you could convince me that it is safe to install a boot selector
   on the first disk. It would have to be free (preferably, one of the
   boot selectors from the NetBSD distribution). I am not convinced this
   is safe and am suspicious of WinNT (especially since I am running the
   Windows 2000 Beta 3).

2) One of you could tell me how to make a boot floppy that will boot from
   wd1a:netbsd by default.

Thanks.
