that would depend on the conditions at netbsd boot vs those on shutdown 
of the mac.  the control panel is a mac-os call that ejects [or not] when 
it is unmounted.  considering the findit init tries to catalog the volume 
before ejecting it, this may do the trick.

another option, and one that will most likely work, is to install a 
non-ejecting driver.  i've got a 2Mb apple hfs partition on my zip, and 
it has the apple driver on it.  i believe this solves the problem.
BUT, inserting it after the macOS boots will allow the iomega driver (if 
it is present in extensions), to load, which i believe will take over 
control of the drive.  by having the disk in while booting into mac, zip 
drive is checked first as a scsi device, at which time the disk-based 
driver will load instead.
