Yes,  I've been running  Beta/Beta2 on this system for months without any 
problems. I'll try on another system as NetBSD 6 has been very stable and so I 
was rather suprised when the new kernel blew up! I reverted to an old kernel:

NetBSD darkstar.anduin.org.uk 6.0_BETA NetBSD 6.0_BETA (GENERIC) #3: Sat May 
19 21:16:47 BST 2012 
root%darkstar.anduin.org.uk@localhost:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC 
i386

and that's fine. I guess it may be a memory problem which the new kernel 
tickles, I'll run memtest86 for a few hours and see if it reports a problem.

Cheers,
Dave
