Hi everybody,

I have a problem with booting NetBSD. I installed NetBSD on an Intel system, on the 3rd harddisk. Now the problem is that the BIOS doesn't support more than 2 HD's. My question: how can I put the kernel on the first MSDOS (IDE) Harddisk and boot from it. The second harddisk is a SCSI harddisk with Linux on it. The third would the be the second SCSI HD with NetBSD on it. Or could I boot NetBSD with LILO ?

thanks Daniel
