Unable to get as I can't boot the box

I am unable to unpack the kernel. My system is a SparcStation2, w/ 128Megs RAM, I did a test /memory and that checked out OK.

According to someone that was helping me from #NetBSD@EFNet, the panic is in the sparc pmap.c, and there were no changes to that file between 1.5 and 1.5.2.

This is what I could read from the last crash that I had.

dumping to dev 7,1 offset 267091
dump panic: pv_unlink
Frame poitner is at 0xf1d19080
Call traceback:

Send anyone from the NetBSD/Sparc team to my house, and it won't be a problem.
