I'm trying to run Windows NT, DOS, and NetBSD on the same disk.  The problem
is that Windows NT plays with the boot blocks and seems incompatible with
anything other than dos.  So my idea is to use a boot floppy for BSDI
that would simply switch to the scsi hard disk and continue.  Any ideas as
to how I could do this?
