In OF do a 'dev / ls' and look carefully to see if the card is 
listed.  If it is then you can probably boot from it.

In any case to use it inside NetBSD you need to see if it is a 
supported model.  If it's supported by the PC port then there is hope 
that it can be made to work easily enough that you may be able to beg 
support from some developer on the list if you ask nicely.

You should be able to use the built-in ATA disk even if the scsi card 
is a problem.
