Absolutely, although you'll have to deliberately arrange things
such that the NetBSD boot will be obliged to pull most of its
stuff out of a partition near the end of the disk.

I don't know if that would be easier to arrange with NetBSD
or OpenVMS.

Be sure to let us know exactly which disk(s) you test - when they
become cheap enough that people will just give them away I
need to know so I can replace the 4 RZ29Bs in my own -90!
