I don't believe that there is any way to automatically boot NetBSD on
one yet. You must boot into WinCE and then use pbsdboot.exe to load
the kernel from the FAT partition. It's kind of tedious, but a fact of
life so far.

If you're in NetBSD, you should be able to do a reboot and it will
stay in NetBSD.
