  This bug was fixed recently. I think despite you're running the latest 
SA kernel, this isn't the latest kernel you could run. At about the same 
time that this bug was fixed, the kernel became bootable on old and new 
ARM processors, so the SA kernels became obsolete. What you want is a 
netbsd-current  kernel from the autobuild directory,

  Try /pub/acorn/RiscBSD/auto-build/netbsd-100397-voyager for example and 
see how that works.

  WARNING  These are NetBSD-current snapshot kernels and are probably not 
guaranteed to even boot, but most of them should work. If the latest one 
doesn't, try the one from the day before....

Ale.
