ok boot disk3 netbsd
Boot device: /sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@0,0   File and args: netbsd
Can't read disk label.
Can't open Sun disk label package
Can't open device /sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@0,0
bootxx: can't open device
Program terminated
ok

This is understandable for me, becaus this is the SunOS bootblock
which tries to access a NetBSD disk.

My problem is that I don't get the NetBSD bootblock started from
disk with UNIT 0, I think...
