The kernel's dated August.  I binpatched the kernel (amigaOS side) using
'binpatch -l -s _sbic_inhibit_sync -r 1 netbsd' and loads in the kernel
with 'loadbsd -c 3000 -a netbsd'.  However, the problem didn't go away :(
I have a 3000T/2chip/16fast/GForce'040w2meg/2MegSpectrum.  Following is
the bootup screen I get when I copied loadbsd and netbsd to a ram disk
and boot up from there (booting off from harddrive stops even earlier).
The HD status light stays on after the last line, the cursor does blink,
however.
