Hi,

I have not tried NetBSD, but Dos will boot fine from my SCSI Zip. You must 
shure to set the Bios to boot from external (setting boot from SCSI or other, 
depends on Bios) and set the adaptec to boot from the zips SCSI ID. Be 
aware that some Bios implementations are broken, so upgrade to the latest 
Bios version.
