I just bought 1.7 Gig Micropolis IDE drive, partitioned 520MB for DOS and rest
for NetBSD. I installed DOS, and NetBSD 0.9. When I boot, the NetBSD comes up.
When I had two operating systems on smaller disk(340MB), I did not have any
trouble switching the operating system using os-bs program. But when I install
it on this drive, it has trouble switching the operating system. At first, it
booted the NetBSD fine, but it could not boot DOS. When I format the DOS drive,
and re-install DOS, it cannot find the NetBSD. Can anybody help? or do I need
to switch the operating system by booting DOS from floppy? It is so convenient
to have that OS-BS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kang.
