It might be. What bootblocks do you use? (Date) I remember an other
mail in port-vax about this problem. The solution was a new booter.
Normaly the bootprocess will continue when you enter the correct
root-dev. If you get the box bootet untar my snapshot and do a 
disklabel -B sd0
to install the new booter. Watch the date in the copyright message of
the booter.

Untar comp.tgz ;-)
OK, OK. But remember the number of hardware platforms NetBSD is running
on. It is imposible to provide precompiled binary packages for every
platform. Puting ssh in tree is a legal problem (no BSD licence). Maybe
this will be solved by OpenSSH. It is allready integrated in to the
FreeBSD base system.
