I've tried installing NetBSD-0.8 but am having a couple of problems. I'm trying to have a DOS partition and a NetBSD partition. Should both partitions be Primary or should the NetBSD partition be an extended partition? I've tried either and can't seem to get them to work. NetBSD installs ok but I can no longer boot DOS. It just comes up with the NetBSD boot procedre. Using FDISK from a DOS floppy to try to set the DOS partition active shows only one non-dos partition of 24MB size. The original partitions were 100MB Dos, 100MB NetBSD. Any ideas where I could have gone wrong? Thanks, Chris Double. chris@actrix.gen.nz
