HI,

I believe your problem I that you are running NetBSD 1.3beta, but the 
Madahtter #41 kernel is a 1.2 kernel.  I learned the hard way that you
cannot have a 1.2 kernel with everything else 1.3.  There is a 1.3 kernel
with the Madhatter patch applied (ie., it will do 832x624) at:

   ftp://scdesantis.ne.mediaone.net/pub/ghost-priest.gz

Once you get this installed, it should be OK. BTW, after you gunzip the 
above kernel, the file name will be 'ghost-priest'. You will want to
rename it to 'netbsd'.
