For what it's worth I just copied a kernel from a -current build done
about 18 hours ago onto mine and it booted just fine (the board was
running a September 2 kernel prior to that). Whatever the problem is,
it isn't a general problem.
Note that the start of my boot looks like
reading netbsd.ub
3129472 bytes read in 316 ms (9.4 MiB/s)
gpio: pin 53 (gpio 53) value is 0
gpio: pin 54 (gpio 54) value is 0
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 802fffc0 ...
Image Name: NetBSD/beagle 6.99.24
Image Type: ARM NetBSD Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 3129408 Bytes = 3 MiB
Load Address: 80300000
Entry Point: 80300000

My kernel is the vanilla BEAGLEBONE kernel built by default with an
evbarm build.
NetBSD 6.99.24 (BEAGLEBONE) #1: Sun Oct 6 03:18:23 EDT 2013
The size of the kernel you are trying to boot is a whole lot bigger
than this. Are you sure it's the right one for the BBB?
