Yes, that worked for me too.  Thanks!  I was able to boot up and go
multi-user using rom(0,0)netbsd and my PIO-only kernel.

It did stop to ask me for a root device, swap device etc. and initially
started single-user.  I know how to hardwire the root device in the
kernel config...is there any way to fake things so that "book dka000"
will try to load from rom(0,0) instead of sd(0,0)?

Cheers,
