I'm using netbsd 2.0.2 and I can't seem to get
it to boot straight from the harddisk, it gets
Error Disk read on boot.  I am using grub to
chainload netbsd's bootloader.  Netbsd is located
in my first extended partition.  I installed the
bootloader with:

cp /usr/mdec/boot /
installboot -v -o timeout=3D5 /dev/rwd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

But it still fails.  I know it's possible since it
used to be bootable before I swapped harddrives.

BTW, I can boot into netbsd with a floppy and run
the command "boot hd1a:netbsd"

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
