it could be that os-bs can only find partitions in the first 520MB
(or whatever the IDE limit was)

Try partitioning by putting the 100MB netbsd partition at the start of
the drive, and then putting the 900MB win95 partition after it. (Hmm,
netbsd with X (200MB), nextstep (400MB), and os/2 (100MB) combined all
take < 900MB. Is win95 really that big? ;-)

yes, just get booteasy (bteasy14.zip from simtel) and only install it
on drive 0. That way when you hit 'f5-second disk', it will load the
boot sectors for netbsd.
