I do something similar with the mouse button testing cli commands that
are on aminet.  I have it set up so that if I hold down my left mouse
button while booting, it mounts my netbsd root partition using bffs and
loads the kernel.  Otherwise, it just continues the startup-sequence,
booting into ados.  Now that I've begun to use netbsd more than ados, I
should probably reverse those two and add a single user/ask netbsd boot for
my middle mouse button. :-)
