Seems like you could just build 1.5.x to only recognize partition type 165
(MBR_COMPAT or whatever), and build -current to only recognize type 169
and you would be set.  Means hacking sys/arch/i386/stand/* and the MD
disksubr stuff on both systems.  Better to pass in the MBR partition number
and have the boot code and kernel honor it when looking for the "NetBSD"
partition.
