I have SCSIProbe open right now and here's what it shows:

SCSI#0  Quantum HD (my MacOS drive)
SCSI#1
SCSI#2
SCSI#3  NEC CD-ROM
SCSI#4  NEC CD-ROM
SCSI#5  Zip Drive
SCSI#6  Quantum HD (my NetBSD drive)
SCSI#7  Macintosh IIsi

I assume 0 is sd0, 3 is sd1, 4 is sd2, 5 is sd3, and 6 is sd4.

Just to be sure I went back into NetBSD and got the message word for word:

Automatic boot in progress: starting file system checks.
Can't open /dev/rsd4a: Device not configured
/dev/rsd4a: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM
/dev/rsd4a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

When I try to run fsck manually (after getting message or after rebooting
in single-user mode) I just get the line:

Can't open /dev/rsd4a: Device not configured

That's it.  Anyway what's the difference between sd4a and rsd4a?
