NetBSD gets a news group... In the install process, the question "overwriting disk with dos partition table? (n)" come up right after I say that I truely do want to install the system. I've answered it both ways and gotten mixed results, everything from a series of error messages regarding missing file systems to having to have my BIOS re-format my drive because on boot I got "no bootable partition" (which neither fdisk nor dos format would help with). This doesn't appear in the documentation, so I'm pretty much stuck till I can figure out what it wants. Any help apreciated! - Heather Ferrin
