.... is it possible? How?

On my machine NT refuses to boot and reports a missing file when the
386bsd partition is present.

I think I have tried every trick in the book, including
leaving a master boot record with no 386bsd partiton on the disk &
booting from a floppy with mbr with 386bsd partition defined (failed
when 386bsd kernel tried to read the mbr on its own...).

I seem to remember someone telling he was booting, DOS, OS2, NT, 386BSD
from the same drive. Would the that person expand on how to go about
it?
