You haven't said what happens when you try to boot it. I use a 1542B and various SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 devices on my (i386) development box, and it has always worked dandy. On other machines, I have DOS, NT, and NetBSD all peacefully coexisting. This is not at all difficult to do. [...], but when I tried to get the DOS partition back so I could use DOS--the DOS partition boot seemed trashed. This would tend to indicate that you didn't follow the directions very well. You *must* create a partition in the DOS partition table with a type of 165 (decimal) for NetBSD before trying to install it.
