On my shiny new Core2 Quad in an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard with 4G RAM.
Works if I disable SMP at boot with the option
boot netbsd -1

Someone ought to add that to boot.cfg as the machine needs ACPI to get the

Boot without ACPI
Boot without SMP    - obvious missing option!
Boot without ACPI and SMP
