Actually I understand that -- I should have elaborated. I tried sd2b
first and got the error which led me to try others. I reordered the
partitions from root, usr, swap to root, swap, usr. As far as I know
this shouldn't make a difference but, when I entered sd2b this time it
progressed a little further but with a new error. Now it complains
that:

root file system type: ffs
stop: parity error

Is there something in the RDB that is preventing the custom dostype
from being recognized? I don't mean to be ignorant but this is
confusing. My other NetBSD setups were on dedicated drives. This is
the first time I've shared FFS partitions with NetBSD.

Best Regards,
Ola
