I have 2 IDE drives (primary: 210 meg, secondary: 130 meg). After
playing around, I ended up with the following setting:
Primary drive: first 20 meg goes to DOS, the rest goes to 386bsd.
Second drive: all goes to DOS.
This allows me to boot either from 386bsd or DOS without using
floppies. I use OS-BS135.
