The drive device numbers change if you use a generic kernel and you turn
off (or on) disks that weren't on (or off) during the install.  The
simplest solution is to put the NetBSD disk(s) at lower IDs than any disks
you may wish to turn off.

in ANSI color escape sequences.  It's a little ugly on a non-ANSI-color
display.
