thanks again.

Well, that's more or less how the developers were testing it.  Or did
you mean a `NetBSD release of the week' with full release sets etc?

Hm.  I'd guess might be due to the bogus geometry which the 1542
reports via the BIOS. That's _not_ the same as the standard "fake"
geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) used by sd.c.  Did you get a
