That was it!  Thank you.

Now, if I could only find a way to write the filesystem image to
my DVD-RAM drive.  cdrecord doesn't like it (apparently it only works
with CD-R[W] and DVD-R), and I can't write anything directly to the
cd* device.  I can't even configure the drive as an sd* device, even
though DVD-RAM is almost exactly like an optical disk (which I can't
use either, since NetBSD doesn't support 2048 bytes per sector.)
