Mmm, this look like a bug.....

Looks like your TT-ram is flakey. I had problems with my MegTT board
too a while back (also MMU faults). After carefully selecting my SIMMS
and soldering a selection of capacitors, the problem disappeared.
The problem with instable RAM is that it also infects the buffer cache
and (in the long run) it slowly eats your filesystem :-(
Maybe re-arranging of removing of some SIMMS will work. Using NetBSD
with 4MB memory is not exactly pleasant...

The BOOTX kernel has 4 views. This should work. Another option is building
a custom kernel.
