I tried the -b option and entered the correct answers after the questions. The
crash happens just after that.

How do I do that? `nm' just gives me a very long list of symbols. Apart from
that, isn't it visible in the stack trace in which funtion the kernel crashed?

I started with an original 1.3 distribution source. After that I applied the
1.3.1 patches from netbsd.org.

Well, at first I didn't, but I did it in the meantime and recompiled the
kernel. Unfortunately it didn't change anything.

No, I didn't use a standard config. Mine is a collection from different sources
that evolved over time. I include it as an attachment as well as the slightely
changed include file I use.

I hope the answers help :-)

Greetings and thanks for your help
