	Hello,

		I want to be able to select the operating system
	at boot time. I have NetBSD-current on one drive and 
	Windows-NT on a different drive. I need the functionality
	of os-bs but this is a DOS application which Windows-NT
	will not allow to be executed since it attempts to write
	to the devices directly. Any other options ?

					Thanks in advance,

				
						Odysseas
