I don't know about CoLo, but maybe it couldn't load NetBSD kernels
properly. (because of too many sections or something else?)

Is your real problem is lack of a bootstrap kernel in 2.1 or 3.0_RC1
distribution which can be loaded via network rather than failure
on CoLo? If so, maybe we should add INSTALL to
src/etc/etc.cobalt/Makefile.inc.

Could you try the following kernel? (it's -current though)
