Oh, sorry, I didn't think about the fact that you have a zip drive. 
The zip might only show up when it contains a cartridge, or it might 
not show up at all. I haven't used a zip under NetBSD, so I'm not 
sure.

It's a good idea to assign removable media to higher ID numbers so 
that your boot works whether or not you have a disk inserted.

IIRC, the booter asks for an ID rather than something like /dev/sd0, 
and the booter is what loads
(I'm not sure if that's the correct word...) the root partition.
