Last I heard Scott Reynolds had found a way around this and was trying 
to get it  in 1.3 before the release even if it is at the last minute.

Hang in there, I`ve seen a -current kernel patched with Scotts changes 
that works (without filesystem damage).

By cc: to Scott, could you please remove the netbsd-TEST.gz kernel from 
the ftp site since it is dangerous (trashes filesystem). (If your changes 
are pretty much finished, maybe you could even replace it with your 
latest working one?)

Ben
