Well, I have a SS10 and I was Extremely Annoyed to discover that the
boot stuff (/boot and /netbsd) must be below the 2G point relative to
their partition base - I have a 9G drive I wanted to make one big
partition.  (The problem is with the ROM routines.  The seek interface
takes a 64-bit offset, but once the offset goes over 2G reads start
failing.) I've been pondering various possibilities, such as adding a
new booter stage so that the boot partition as far as the ROMs are
concerned is a tiny little thing, or making /boot use its own SCSI code
rather than ROM callbacks....
