Make sure that OpenBoot's 'boot-device' variable matches the SCSI ID and
slice that you installed on. 'boot-file' should be blank.

Once you've confirmed that the SCSI ID matches, you'll need to add a
:[a-h] suffix if NetBSD's root slice isn't the first on the disk (many
people choose to put swap on slice a). So for example, to set up booting
from the second slice of the disk at SCSI ID 3:

ok setenv boot-device disk3:b
