Yeah, you bugger about with boot.ini I think.
Downer to that is it assumes you trust Win** to boot far enough to load
NetBSD, which I don't :)
Manuel hit the nail on the head -
fdisk -i wd0 (to flush old bootmenu)
and then
fdisk -B wd0
worked a treat.
Does anyone know why fdisk doesn't notice the bootmenu has been overwritten,
incidentally?
