It depends on what NetBSD platform you are using - I have a friend
who takes zip disks between his NetBSD/sparc and Solaris boxes at
work. NetBSD/sparc write a sun compatible disk label, which makes
this simple.
Otherwise, easier option might just be to use it as a tape - and
tar the files to the raw device :)
