Subject: Multiboot w/o sliver partitions

I have the following system:
486 dx2 66 w/ 16MB RAM
hdd0: 244 MB HDD w/ msdos 6.2
hdd1: 169 MB HDD w/ NetBSD v1.1 (i386)
I would like to keep the disks as they are without having to put
'crawlspace' partitions on hdd 0. In other words, is there a multiboot
program that will force the system to boot from the *second* hard drive
as if it were the first (read cyl 0 head 0 sector 0 hdd1). I've tried
creating a single track partition with some int 13h code to load the MBR
from hdd1 and jump to MBR code, but I am getting nowhere fast. Is there a
way to tell int 19h from which drive to boot?
TIA
