Create the correct label and it _might_ work.  The real concern that I
have with putting disklabels on non-NetBSD drives is simple.  Where do
they go, and what happens if something (like the OS/2 boot selector
might) lived there?

If it were me, I'd just do
	systat -vmstat < /dev/ttyv5 > /dev/ttyv5 2>&1
in rc.local or something.
