Well I managed to figure it out the firmware problem through trial and
error. Since the syquests scsi id was set to 5, I entered scsi/sd@5:0 for
the boot-device and netbsd as the boot-file and bingo it booted with no
problem.

But now I seem to having problems with disk interrupts while unpacking
installed sets.

Anyone encountered this before? Is it a partition/space issue?
