Yes, that's strange. The two patches that I did not apply from NetBSD's
pkgsrc were a) the NOFPU stuff, and b) the patch at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/emulators/gxemul/patches/patch-src_machines_machine__pmax.cc?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN
which essentially does this:

- strlcpy(bootpath, "5/rz1/", sizeof(bootpath));
+ strlcpy(bootpath, "5/rz0/", sizeof(bootpath));

However, the lines immediately below that in src/machines/machine_pmax.cc
say:

                if (machine->bootdev_id < 0 || machine->force_netboot) {
                        /*  tftp boot:  */
                        strlcpy(bootpath, "5/tftp/", sizeof(bootpath));
                        bootpath[0] = '0' + boot_net_boardnumber;
                } else {
                        /*  disk boot:  */
                        bootpath[0] = '0' + boot_scsi_boardnumber;
                        if (diskimage_is_a_tape(machine,
machine->bootdev_id,
                            machine->bootdev_type))
                                bootpath[2] = 't';
                        bootpath[4] = '0' + machine->bootdev_id;
                }

so if you are not netbooting, it should overwrite bootpath[4] with the
device ID of the boot device.

I am confused as to what has happened.

Can you add a printf statement next to that code and see what value
machine->bootdev_id has when you run your scenario? 0 or 1?
