NetBSD on Gateway SX2185?

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

I just got a SX2185 and tried to bring up NetBSD.  I tried booting an 
installation CD, which I have previously used successfully, but the 
Gateway gave me the usual "Insert the right media and press a key" 
message.

I replaced the internal hard drive with one that already has NetBSD 
installed on it (and from which I have booted another machine), but it 
fails in the same way.

According to the label, the Gateway has a AMD E1-2500 processor, 4GB 
RAM, and Radeon HD8240 graphics.  The BIOS version is "P11-A4" and 
claims to be "exclusively for Gateway only" (that's what it says on the 
start-up splash screen).

Any clue on what it would take to make this thing boot NetBSD?
