Hi,

I have plugged an multi-card reader on the USB port of my mini.
When I boot NetBSD (from the disk), the dmesg is:
########################################################################

What would be Open Firmware's path for this /dev/sd1 ?
This idea is to test NetBSD release from this Compact Flash without
wiping my disk installation.

TIA,
  Jo
