It works for me. I hooked up a spare disk and added a RAID partition:
d: 4712000 4712000 RAID # (Cyl. 1000 - 1999)
and booted from:
/sbus/dma/esp/sd@2,0:d
(SS20 with 2nd SCSI controller). Extracts from the boot messages:
Booting netbsd
Trying RAID offset (64)
root on raid1a dumps on raid1b
root file system type: ffs
Note that this partition starts 2.3GB into the disk, but the SS20 won't boot
from the following partition (starting at 4.7GB).
