This makes no sense to me. How would the system mount it after I
booted into NetBSD. I tried creating a directory '/syquest' for a
mount point and then 'mount -t hfs /dev/sd1a /syquest' and some
varieties.  Roberta is my machine.  Give me a guess as to how to refer
to the device and what fs type to choose. It's not a cd, and I don't
seem to have an hfs type. 


roberta# mount -t cd9660 /dev/sd1a /syquest
mount_cd9660: /dev/sd1a on /syquest: Input/output error
roberta# mount -t hfs /dev/sd1a /syquest
mount: mount_hfs not found for /syquest
