You need something that is willing to read the first sector of an
extended partition to address 0x7c00 and then jump to it.

To my knowledge only the NetBSD mbr_lba code is capable of doing that.

Something like the M$ booter - which wants a copy of the sector in
its own filestore - might also work.

One advantage of using the NetBSD mbr code, is that you can select
between different netbsd root filesystems by selecting different
mbr partitions.
