Yes, on all counts. The only hitch is that the kernel does not default
to selecting the "a" partition correctly if there's no "A/UX root". It
ought to default to setting whichever partition is UFS to "a" if
there's no explicit "a". You'll need to "boot -a", figure out which
partition NetBSD thinks your UFS partition is, then hard-code it into
the kernel.
Have fun,
