Not true any more.

The boot ROM code needs a Sun-style disklabel, but beyond that
everything is up to the code in the boot program found in the first 8K
of the specified partition.  If you're using SunOS _bootblocks_, then
you need an old-format filesystem...but NetBSD/sun3 now has fully
native bootblocks.  The only piece of compatability necessary is the
disk label.
