Can somebody make an install kernel of this? I see a RAMDISK kernel but
I don't think there is a sysinst miniroot in it.

I just replaced the backup battery and the regular battery is fine.
I tried it with AC power in, and it still does it.

BTW the hard drive is not totally recognized by 20000208 either, it
sees wd0 okay but the total sector count is zero (c/h/s are ok though).
Any attempt to access the drive from NetBSD gives timeout and failed
bus reset messages which don't go away until I reset the workpad.

I noticed that the TypeIII HD spins down right as the kernel starts
running, so perhaps there is a power management issue in 20000208 too.
