Hello!
1.) You should save your mbr with the dd command,
because WindowsNT overwrite it during the installation.
dd if=/dev/wd0d of=/tmp/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1
This should save your mbr from wd0 to the file /tmp/mbr.bin
2.) You should have a boot disk or cd to boot your NetBSD
after the WindowsNT installation.
You can now easy restore your old mbr and boot your NetBSD.
Now you have to use a bootmanager for example the NetBSD
internal or other bootmanagers like grub.
Hope that helps - cheers,
Martin Wittwer
