I have not tried to boot from a SCSI disk, but
just tried to load an ecoff loader from FAT floppy
with "multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)".

Maybe loader could open "scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)" and read
a partition table by itself like i386.

Ok, I put it into:
http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~tsutsui/netbsd/boot.shar
I guess these code are quite ugly, but please don't ask
me about it :-) I guess there are some resource conflicts
between the ARC BIOS and the loader.
