I've had problems with the machine hanging in the boot when it gets to
vidcaudio. Sometimes it pauses for a while and then continues, sometimes
it hangs and goes no further. If I compile a kernel without vidcaudio the
machine will hang at beep0 instead.

I only seem to get this when booting NetBSD after the machine has been on
for a while (not always, but most of the time). Cold booting seems to work
correctly all of the time.

This is with an ARM-610 machine with 16 bit sound.
