I've had success using the following method:
Write and install a label that puts a at an offset >= 16. Place your
bootblocks (rzboot & bootrz) in the ultrix /usr/mdec (this is safe, as
Ultrix uses one file, bookblks, for its boot blocks), and install them
using the -B arg to disklabel.
Then dd the miniroot to wherever you started a on the NetBSD disk. If
you started a at 16, then you'd say 'dd if=miniroot of=/dev/rrz#c skip=16'
