My host is Ubuntu. Initially I tried created the devices by loading netbsd on 
qemu and running MAKEDEV.  I mounted the image and copied the devices to 
ubuntu. Not sure whether its right.

Right now I got a spare hd and loaded netbsd in it. I will mount the linux 
partition and copy the devices from netbsd partition to linux partition.

Should I just have init printing "Hello World" to see if its dynamic linking 
problem? What other techniques I could use to debug?
