  | Yes. Both network and disk are appearing not configured. PFA.

Vendor 1af4 is (in our pcidevs) QUMRANET - the web says it is Red Hat,
and used for virtio devices (which corresponds with our pcidevs, which
has device 1041 listed as "Virtio Network", 1043 as "Virtio Console",
1048 as "Virtio SCSI".

The latter corresponds with your linux boot dmesg...

[    1.682859] scsi host2: Virtio SCSI HBA
[    1.705095] scsi 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
[    1.705167] sd 2:0:0:0: Power-on or device reset occurred
[    1.706859] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 320004096 512-byte logical blocks: (164 GB/153 GiB)



At the minute I can see no NetBSD drivers for these devices, and I
have no idea what their interface is like (that would require examining
linux sources I suspect).

Check your 48GB version, my guess is that it isn't using those linux
devices.

You may have the 160GB system configured expressly for linux - the
host most likely doesn't have a special case for NetBSD (sad as that
is) but they will certainly have an option for windows.   Use that
instead (linux should still work just fine).
