According to the installation notes, NetBSD must be installed onto the
first IDE drive...

However, I've seen references in news articles to booting it from
the 2nd drive...

Is there a way to get NetBSD to install onto the 2nd IDE drive without
affecting the 1st?  (Well, almost w/o affecting...  I don't mind replacing
the boot block with something to get to NetBSD on the 2nd drive, so long
as it can also get to the OSes I currently have on the first.)

Thanks in advance!
