I am switching from Linux to netbsd. The problem I am having involves configuring my machine to boot netbsd, it will boot windows. I am currently using a boot floppy which I interrupt to type "boot wd1:netbsd". Here's my layout.


I have windows 2000 server installed on a 3gig partition on wd0.

linux was installed on the second 3gig partition.

lilo is on the mbr

netbsd is installed on a 30gig drive wd1


I have looked at the instructions at <<http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html> to try to figure this out, but I just don't get it. Should I use the NT bootloader, or OS-BS, or the netbsd bootmenu?

(For the recompiling you need some minor tweaking in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/boot).

Can someone give me some guidance?
