I believe -- but I haven't tested this theory for lack of available
machines at the moment -- that *this* is the critical step. I seem to
recall trashing a DOS partition a couple months back when I tried to
install NetBSD without marking the NetBSD partition active before booting
from the install floppies.
Admittedly, if this is in fact the problem, something needs to be tweaked.
