To follow up to my own mail:  I configured the system with both a DOS
and a NetBSD partition, and everything works as expected.  I currently
have it running with the entire system (except for the first cylinder)
as NetBSD, using translated geometry (yuck).

It seems that /usr/mdec/sdboot is not working on certain machines with
the NCR SCSI chip.
