Ah! Finally someone who whill take the messydisk.device code
and write something similar for NetBSD! I can mail you the
sources if you just wait for me to upload them...

There is not much low-level info on hd drives: they just identify
themselves differently if a hd floppy is inserted, and then you need
to send them twice as much bits to write. That's all.
