One cannot boot off an IDE device on a multia.  The SRM is not capable of doing
so.  (SRM limitation, not NetBSD's)  I have however booted off floppy, and used
incantations of chroot to get my machine up multiuser in similar
circumstances..  Your best bet however would be a small scsi drive you could
stuff root onto.
