You'll probably need to make nodes for sd2 and sd3 if the machine has
four disks, depending (I believe) on how SCSI IDs are assigned and which
disk has the system on it, but I'm kind of fuzzy in that area. Probably
best to create the nodes anyway.

Apart from that, OpenBoot should let you boot from disks other than the
first using, for instance..

boot disk3:a /netbsd -bs
     ^     ^    ^     ^
     |     |    |     +-- kernel flags
     |     |    +-- file to boot
     |     +-- slice to boot from (a-h, same as solaris 0-7)
     +-- device to boot from (disks are numbered 0-3)

..to boot a kernel called /netbsd from the first partition on the fourth
disk.
