I have a 486 laptop for which I can buy a docking station.  I was
planning to buy a SCSI adapter card (for the docking station) and a
SCSI hard disk and install NetBSD on it, but was wondering if that
would work?  The laptop has an internal drive, but I would prefer to
leave that as DOS.  Will it be possible for me to install NetBSD and
automatically boot it from a SCSI disk even though I have an internal
drive?

Thanks in advance!

George
