Actually, this isn't entirely true anymore.  pbsdboot will let you boot
directly off of a netbsd partition.  I'm currently using:

  1:/netbsd

as my kernel image to pbsdboot, and it reads it right off of the wd0a
bsd partition.  I'm not entirely sure how the numbering works, but I
think it may represent the partition number.

I'll try to find out where I originally saw this to get more details.
