This pv-grub thing is vexing.  If I do this:
--
title NetBSD
root (hd0)
kernel /boot/netbsd

default=0
timeout=0

title NetBSD
root (hd0)
kernel /boot/netbsd

--

It boots (that is with one ffs level 4 slice starting at 0).  If I do
_anything else_, it doesn't want to boot.  If I create slice 'e'
starting at 0 and ending at, let's say +32M, it doesn't want to boot,
even though it starts at 0.  I must be doing something wrong.  Does
pv-grub understand bsd disklabel semantics?  That is, can I do (hd0,e)
as root?  Anything else I can try?  I'm about to give up and just go
back to what works, but I would rather understand what is going on.
