.... or not.  My problem is that with those settings, indeed with 
just about any settings other than default the only response I get is

boot: can't OPEN:

Also, I know that external Zips do weird things, but why would a SCSI 
Zip make NetBSD think that I only have one ATA drive?  When I boot 
with the Zip attached, it only sees my 4gig caviar, not the 13gig IBM:

wdc0 at obio offset 0x20000 irq 13      <-- ibm drive
wdc1 at obio offset 0x21000 irq 14      <-- western digital
wd0 at wdc1 channel 0 drive 0
...

However, without the Zip it seems to find both drives.

Is there any way I can tell through OF why it can't OPEN the drive?
