I run into a bit of a problme.

I have winXP on partition-0 after which i installed netbsd-current on partition-1. I let netbsd overwrite the mbr and didnt save the one previously there. I also let netbsd place the bootmenu.

Ever since my winXP refuses to boot strangely freezing up after a minute with a blue screen.

My question is has anyone been successful to boot winXP with the netbsd bootloader ?
I been thinking of installing grub since its been known to be able to boot winXP. It does something called chainloading i am not exactly sure what that is.  I was also thinking of letting the winXP loader boot netbsd instead.  Anyway too many options. Whats the surest and easiest way to get both booting nicely together ?
