Well, I tried again, and some different results but not the stellar 
"login:" I'd hoped for. I re-dumped the "/" partition (the system is 
basically idle), redid the bootblk, made sure the disklabels were the 
same, and fsck'd the altboot partition.

No luck. Booting either gave the fastdata MMU miss, or hung right after 
the autobuild line. I copied the same kernel over, the same ofwboot, and 
then even the original "off the 1.6 CD" kernel (which is what hung after 
autobuild). I was unable to boot either in -s single user, "/ofwboot 
do-boot", or even "boot sd1a:netbsd -s".

I *know* this will work because I'm using the very things I'm booting 
off disk0. So the kernel, init, and everything works. It just doesn't 
wanna work on disk1.  :)

Any more thoughts?

ciao!
