Are you saying that when the boot-preference is set to NetBSD, TOS wouldn't
boot from the SCSI-disk because an IDE disk with a boot sector was found
eventhough it's bootpreference bit did not match?????? If this is true
it's even more brain damaged then I thought :-( The inability to restart
the search is a nuisance already.

This reminds me of the fact that I still haven't converted your mail
explaning the bootloader into a decent manual-page format....
