In particular, an NT installation would be unhappy if you installed
os-bs on the drive where NT also lives and occupies the first part of
the drive.  Yes, I've done this, and NT had to be reinstalled...

I seem to remember someone talking about how one could use NT's boot
manager to boot NetBSD, but I don't recall how.  If someone could
please tell us the details about that, it would be much appreciated.
