I'd actually encourage somebody to write a set of standalone utilities
that could be run from MacOS, including:
(1) copy file to/from NetBSD partition
(2) 'ed' file on NetBSD partition (ed is your friend!)
(3) fsck NetBSD partition
and maybe a few other things. (don't need cat! that's what "1,$p" is
for, in ed! 8-)
