I have a 486 PC that currently has 3 SCSI disks.
I use OS/2 Bootmanager to select DOS, Linux, or
Warp currently.  I just bought a new harddrive and
would like to have a NetBSD partition, that I can
select with the OS/2 Bootmanager.  I made the
NetBSD install disk and it boots fine.  Then it
asks whether to install the kernel to the harddisk,
but I have no idea which disk it wants to go on.
How do I make it go onto a certain partition on 
a certain drive, or is this not possible?
