A quick test showed it was easy to get going, even though there are issues with dealing with big endian disklabels on little endian machines (disklabel -I -i -B be vnd0 gives disklabel: changing le byteorder to be, disklabel: could not read existing label).

To write the initial one, you need to use -r.  This is just the annoying way that disklabel(8) has ~always worked.

virt68k:thorpej 4$ sudo disklabel ld0

virt68k:thorpej 5$ 

(Disklabels definitely work.)

> Unlike riscv64 in qemu (the only other qemu NetBSD guest I've played with much), the kernel asks for the root and dump devices, in spite of qemu being run with -append "root=dk1". How does one get it to auto boot?

Weird.  I have:

	-append “root=ld0a”

On my qemu command line and it boots right up without prompting:
