fstab.sd is a sample fstab for folks using scsi disks. fstab.wd is a
sample fstab for folks using IDE drives (on ports which support IDE,
like i386).

mount /dev/sd1a /
should get YOU the root partition (as your root partition is on sd1).

c si the whole disk. Don't use it unless you want to ruin the formatting
of the whole disk.

It's not in the MacOS partition table. NetBSD sets it up. Silver Lining
won't see it.
