So far, the only thing mentioned either in the install notes or in the
various postings and followups have been related to making NetBSD co-exist
with a DOS partition. I'd like to make NetBSD (of 386BSD for that matter)
co-exist with OS/2 via OS/2's bootmanager. Has anyone managed to to this?
If so, how about a short "cookbook" description as to how you used OS/2's
fdisk to accomplish this, and what offsets and disk values one needs to
note during the process.
