I have install NetBSD-1.5.2 on a Pentium machine.

However after the reboot, the machine could not find the boot sector. When
doing the fdisk to the HDD, I specified from CHS 0,0,1 to the end of the HDD
in partition 3. The disklabel sd0a starts from sector 63.

I tried to use a boot disk to boot up the machine and inspected the sd0 by
using fdisk and disklabel. I also did /usr/mdec/installboot
/usr/mdec/biosboot sd0a,  it said the device is busy.

Any suggestion.
