My primary partition in Win95 and the second partition is 200.5 MB for NetBSD. I used the OnTrack disk manager that comes with my Western Digital disk to mark the second partition type as 165 decimal, however when I booted and installed from the the kernel and install floppy I got the message that it couldn't find the NetBSD partition - luckily it didn't kill my Win95 partition so I did not have to reload my backup on tape. Any ideas. I'd like to avoid repartitioning. Is there an easy way to remark the partition correctly with the partition type 0xA5 (165, in decimal)??? thanks...Please email your response to abare@iac.net. thanks...Andrew
