This may have been a false alarm.

I've since booted a -current kernel on an alpha with a serial console
and I do find it does print the kerninfo line when I generate a SIGINFO
with the status key (^T).

So it has at least been fixed since netbsd-1-6 was branched.

Note/remember that the SIGINFO is generated and passed to applications.
It's just the kernel isn't printing the load average line.....

Assuming I haven't done something silly in my source tree to break this
functionality just for the console (it works fine on my PTYs, for
example), perhaps there's a simple patch lurking somewhere that I can
pull up to fix it for 1.6.x too?
