Some bioses shuffle around the reported disks (and the bootloader relies on
the bios completely). My bios, for example, won't report the third disk if
I use the bios raid feature on the first two - so there is no way for the
NetBSD bootloader to access the disk. When I turn of the raid feature, I see
the third and one of the first two disks, the third becoming the 0x80 drive.
