 I'm using the standard NetBSD bootloader. I tried a kernel with and  
 without options MULTIBOOT.
 
 The panic is in AcpiTbVerifyChecksum (kernel based on GENERIC.MPACPI,  
 same as tron's), and my keyboard is dead (USB) so I can't get a  
 backtrace. No problems with a GENERIC.MP kernel, of course.
