Ok, I'm now seeing this behavior from "anita test". However, I'm not convinced the problem is that it's failing to notice the halt message. In particular, when I try to run qemu directly on the disk image left behind, which is the same thing that "anita test" will be doing after that halt, it doesn't work; qemu goes into an infinite loop and just sits there until killed. Running qemu without -nographic, however, makes it much clearer what's going on: it gets as far as "NetBSD/x86 ffsv2 Primary Bootstrap" and then the virtual machine resets. (Should it be using ffsv2? That seems a trifle odd.) This is on amd64 with an up-to-the-minute tree. So I guess someone broke the bootloader.
This is still broken on -current from a few minutes ago... Is anyone looking into what is happening?
