if you can get crash dumps and put them up somewhere for download,
along with the corresponding netbsd.gdb kernels, that would be cool.
are you also using options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE?

i use it all the time on my i386 laptop.  i was pretty sure i'd gotten
all the bugs out, but perhaps not.  how old is your laptop?  is it at
all possible that you have bad memory in it?  can you remove and
reseat any additional memory modules?
