I don't think the bug is fixed.  Today I re-opened 42202 and set it to
'feedback'.

Today I cannot boot an ISO9660 image in QEMU or VMware ("The virtual
machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode.").  I have not tried
a real machine, yet.  I updated my sources yesterday.

QEMU enters this cycle:

qemu -cdrom alldevs-02-Nov-2009.iso -nographic -s -serial stdio

>> NetBSD/x86 BIOS Boot, Revision 5.4 (from NetBSD 5.99.21)
>> Memory: 639/130048 k

     1. Boot normally
     2. Boot single user
     3. Disable ACPI
     4. Disable ACPI and SMP
     5. Drop to boot prompt

Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
Option 1 will be chosen in 5 seconds.
