Hello,

I am  working on a Pentium system which has a 1 gig disk with 2 
partitions, one of which contains NetBSD. It has the OS-BS boot 
manager installed.

When I installed Windows 95 (in the DOS Partition), it wiped out the 
OS-BS boot manager. Is there any way to reinstall it without trashing 
the NetBSD partition (which I never touched).

Is there any boot manager that I could install into it's own partition 
to avoid these problems next time? I think that 95 tramped on the 
OS-BS boot manager, which contained the starting block of NetBSD on 
the second partition.

Any info. on this would be very much appreciated,

Bob
