Well--I'll try installing this and see if it does the trick.

I read about this, but wasn't sure how to install the NetBSD
bootloader into the proper place... the installer only offered to
install it into my MBR. How does one do this? I assume that I might
end up messing up my filesystem by installing the boot loader at this
point.

However, I could easily just have misunderstood how to chainload (in
the past, my systems have only run NetBSD so I just installed the
bootloader to the MBR).
