I upgraded my DOS partition last night to 6.2  I then rebooted, and got ready
to press '2' to boot NetBSD.  It went straight into DOS.

No Problem, says I.  I will rerun OS-BS and reload the MBR.

I kept getting a divide overflow error.  Apparently there is a change in the
6.2 boot block that does not work with my older version of os-bs.

I then worked a little DOS magic and got the 6.0 boot block back onto the disk.
I reran os-bs and the new boot block worked just fine.

Just thought I'd toss that in in case it comes up soon.
