Thank you David, Martin

I didn't quite understand what you guys were trying to tell me so I
swapped the drives around, wd0 is now wd1 and vice versa. I got NT
installed fine but of course NetBSD won't boot since it's now on wd1.
I thought I could use the install CD to fix the problem but I'm at a
loss on how to do it. I can get into single user mode fine by booting
net with my boot manager GAG. But once there I haven't a clue what to
do next. Can I wipe out the boot code and simply use my boot manager
or am I screwed.
