Waldi mentioned to me that he has had the problem once and never
again... What he told me was that when booting NetBSD from Magic
the problems were gone. It looks like something is not explicitely
initialized that should be. Strange thing is that you are the only
one always having this problem :-(

I tried it a while back when you were having problems. The 2/4 combination
worked on my TT. As NetBSD knows nothing more than you tell it, there
_should_ be no difference.

Ain't there something usefull in the dump info shown?

Hope I did. Maybe Waldi has more suggestions...

As a general rule, I only upload files in both flavors when people might
need them before NetBSD is installed. I've got complaints from people
that they couldn't decompress...
