Sorry, it's booting on another machine and I would have to type it out.

ofwboot.xcf is loaded.

The netbsd kernel boots.

Then it stops when it can't find the root disk (which is wd1, not wd0).

At this point in the boot process, my keyboard doesn't work. It's right here:

boot device: <unknown>
root device:

So my only option is to hardcode the kernel to boot from wd1. This is
why I was asking if it was possible to reconfigure the kernel from the
install disk, this would be really nice.
