I'm (sorta) glad to hear this!  I'm trying to bootstrap a
NetBSD-current right now, and am having this same problem on my system
- a 386SX, 6MB memory, 200 MB IDE drive.  The garbled characters that
I get are in the IDE drive identification, and the number of
heads/cyl/sectors displayed are garbage too.

The NetBSD 0.9 GENERICAHA kernel seems to be working just fine.  I'm
trying build a NetBSD-current kernel with that same configuration.  I
have already rebuilt a new config, and all of /usr/src/{lib,gnu,sbin}.

I noticed that boot is loading this kernel at 0x100000 rather than 0x0
for the 0.9 kernel.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
