Just arrange to have the linux root present as "/emul/linux". That is,
"/emul/linux" can be a symlink to the real mountpoint, or it can be
the real mountpoint.

It's possible to install rpm archives directly under NetBSD with the
proper overrides -- I just spelled it out in excruciating detail on
port-i386 -- but if this is a dual boot machine, it would probably be
a lot less painful to install them while booted into linux.
