Ok,

I have changed the boot.ini to include nbsd.bb.  I 
downloaded the nbsd0.bb, renamed it to match boot.ini, and placed it 
in the root of the C drive.  Now, when netbsd is selected as the os, 
I get no a bootable partition message. Any other ideas? Thx.

 [boot loader]
 timeout=5
 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
 [operating systems]
 multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows2000"
c:\netbsd.bb="Net BSD"
