Ahhhhm. I answered this question already one day ago when Jesse Peterson
asked the exact same question.=20
NetBSD-prep is currently unable to determine the root-device. You need
to recompile the kernel and hardcode the root-device in the kernel
config. Somthing like:
config  netbsd  root on sd0 type ?
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/index.html#how_to_build_a_kern=
el
tels you how to build a kernel and /usr/src/sys/arch/prep/stand/README
how to make a bootimage, that you have to dd to your disk like you
already did.=20
