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.
