actually...how old is the boot floppy?  ie, is it a stock 1.2 or 1.2.1
boot floppy, or is the kernel of a recent enough build that it can
actually not be taking advantage of the bug that was fixed a few
months ago (by thorpej if memory serves) where it did not actually
seem to be waiting for the transfer to take place?

basically, maybe netbsd just thinks your drive isn't working and in
reality, it's just not waiting long enough for it?
