Hi, I'll need a bit more information before I can help you. What do
you mean by "It can not detect the boot directories"? Rather than
telling us what the computer can and can't do, please tell us what it
did do, e.g. "When I rebooted the machine, it came up in DOS" or "When
I rebooted the machine, it displayed an error message _____" and
stopped.
To make NetBSD coexist with other operating systems, you want to
install a dual boot loader like booteasy or OS-BS. You can find these
tools in /mit/netbsd/i386/utils ("attach netbsd" first, of course).
Booteasy is probably the easiest to install, but OS-BS is a little
more colorful and featureful.
