To get things working :-)

On the pmax, a valid boot path is either like rz(0,0,0)netbsd or
3/rz0/netbsd.  The pmax devopen() will return either "netbsd" (with
"rz(0,0,0) as the device) or "/netbsd" (with "3/rz0" as the device) in
these cases.  bootxx.c then tries to load the filename "boot", which
turns out to be "boot" in the first case and "/boot" in the second.
Here's where UFS works and ISOfs fails :-(

If I remove the '/' in the "3/rz0/netbsd" case, then I can have bootxx.c
open "/boot" and the right thing happens in either case.

Do we have any existing SA code that can do an ls on a ISO filesystem?
I can really only test this on a pmax, and even then I've just been
dumping ISO filesystems to a disk because I don't have access to a
burner...
