I just tried:

barsoom# fdisk -i sd0
[...]
barsoom# fdisk sd0
[...]
3: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    start 512, size 17915728 (8748 MB, Cyls 34/0/3-1194416), Active
Bootselector disabled.
barsoom# disklabel -r sd0
[...]
 a:   4718656       512       RAID                     #
 c:  17915728       512     unused      0     0        #
 d:  17916240         0     unused      0     0        #
[...]
barsoom# cp /usr/mdec/biosboot /boot
barsoom# installboot -v /dev/rsd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2
File system:         /dev/rsd0a
File system type:    raw (blocksize 8192, needswap 0)
Primary bootstrap:   /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2

However, it's still not bootable -- my BIOS takes over, asking me to
press a key to reboot.

I assume so -- they're freshly newfs'ed under NetBSD 1.6ZA.  That
should make them V2, right?
