hmm...that seems to conveniently answer the question that i was about
to ask.  i have a new laptop (toshiba portege 7200) with win98
scrunched down from the 12 gigs it used to have to 1.5 (via partition
magic).  freebsd came next and was able to boot them both.  netbsd
(1.4U) went last (and the freebsd boot loader wouldn't boot it) and
so i added osbs.  which apparently can't boot either of them.

i'll re-install 1.4U tonight and select the netbsd boot loader.  thx.  :)
