hmmmmm, how much do i need on the scsi disk to get the system booted and
running?  just the bootblocks?  the kernel currently lives on the IDE disk,
can i get to it after bootloader is running?  or do i need to have a copy of
the kernel on the scsi disk?

i'm going to try the whole system install thing, i'm concerned about endian
issues with the FS though since i'll be building the "disk" on a little endian
pc and trying to use it on a big endian mac.  maybe i should get an alpha
running with netbsd to do this with. :)
