>Environment:
Since I am not able to boot NetBSD install CD, I would only describe my machine:
CPU: Intel Core i7 2630QM
RAM: Samsung 4GB*3
HDD: Seagate 750GB
>Description:
I have a laptop ASUS N73SV, with Intel Sandy Bridge CPU. I want to install 
NetBSD on it. However, I tried NetBSD-5.1.2, NetBSD-6.0 BETA, and several 
-current versions, and none of the installation CDs could boot. After the 
kernel is loaded, my laptop just reboot immediately, what I could see is only 
kernel panic balabala. I even tried boot kernel with -12s, not work at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
I am not sure if such problem would occur in all Sandy Bridge machines. I 
suppose it is caused by my CPU.
>Fix:
