Is this for NetBSD/i386? The default boot loader doesn't support
this.
Could you explain why you want to do this, and just what you're trying
to accomplish. There are some tools to do this sort of thing that we're
not awfully experienced with, but we can try and give you a hand
with a bit more clarification.

Yes, this would work under NetBSD/sun3, f'rinstance, but the i386
boot loader is pretty limited...
Anyhow, using:
-s
will just boot single user off your disk, as will
/netbsd -s
--jhawk
