I have Win2K Professional on the first 30GB of my disk and NetBSD 1.5.2 on
the last 10GB. I boot to Win2K direct from the hard drive. Booting to
NetBSD is accomplished with a boot floppy containing M$-DOS, dosboot.com,
and an autoexec that loads the kernel from wd0a:netbsd
I used to have a sound card that required a M$-DOS program to initialize it
and have just kept doing things this way. A side-benefit is that the IT
department doesn't really need to know that I have a non-M$ OS installed
since without the boot floppy, it just looks like a standard system.
