   I knew of that solution, but it's only a workaround. 

Its the accepted solution for Alphas running OSF/1, DECstations
running Ultrix, Sparcs running SunOS or Solaris... why should it be
wrong for anything running NetBSD?

Remember: it might be the panic message you want to see under all
circumstances, because you want to fix the kernel bug.
