Right. NetBSD/Amiga wants RDBs on the disk.

The usual solution is to use the whole-disk partition letter: d for i386, c
for -Amiga.

And be sure to either use a endianness independent file system, or (in case
of Berkeley FFS) to use options FFS_EI in the kernel of one of the machines,
and use the other machines' endianness.

(I do this often with MO disks).
