After scouring the net and examining and testing numerous boot
managers, it seems that putting DOS on my IDE drive and NetBSD
on my SCSI drive (not putting ANY part of either on the same disk)
and then attempting to boot is not quite as common as I had thought
it would be. I would like to keep this separation of the OS's and
be able to choose which OS to boot with and I would prefer to use
freeware. There is a program (System Commander by V Communications)
that seems to have the capabilities that I am describing. Has
anyone used either a freeware or commercial product to do what I
am describing?? This does not involve the install process except as
far as the boot portion is related to this. NetBSD is installed and
ready to boot on the SCSI drive.

Please feel free to offer alternate solutions to what I would like
or to tell me that what I would like to do is not currently possible.
