This is _not_ part of NetBSD install per se. It is part of the : system utility 'disklabel' (both NetBSD and 386bsd).

If people will look in /sbin they will see that netbsd does include an fdisk (from Mach). fdisk -i will ask them a bunch of questions to which they can answer 'n' and the last question will ask them which partition to make active. They can then activate their dos partition. I've kept my mouth shut because I was sure a plethora of people would post this observation but all I've seen is more people asking for it.. -- "I was early to finish | hpeyerl@novatel.cuc.ab.ca <Reply-To> | I brew | I was late to start, I | peyerlh@cuug.ab.ca | there- | might be an adult, but | #define JANITOR "Network Anal-yst" | fore I | I'm a minor at heart." | JANITOR, NovAtel Communications Ltd.| AM. |
