It's ugly but at least I can get something out of the speakers now.
This currently works using a DOS boot floppy.
The process I used is as follows (YMMV):
1) Download the YMF724 diagnostics from Dell.
2) Run the download to create a floppy disk.
3) Copy the files from the floppy to a directory on your hard drive or
leave them on the floppy. I put them on my hard drive in c:\sndtest.
4) In the autoexec on the bootable floppy, add the following or the
equivalent for your system:
cd c:\sndtest
c:
setupds /s
a:
echo Booting NetBSD from wdoa
echo.
dosboot -u wd0a:netbsd
5) Reboot your system with the boot floppy in drive A.
