I've tried installing the latest NetBSD onto an old PowerBook 520c, and I
can't seem to get it to boot properly.  No matter what I try, I seem to end
up hanging during startup of NetBSD with the following message:

root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
(with a solid block cursor sitting on the next line)

The partitions are correct, I checked with disklabel in the installer app.
I ran Mkfs_1.45 before installing and everything...

Is there a special workaround for the newly-supported PB500-series, or am I
just doing (or not doing) something dumb?
