Ah, but the symptom changed? So maybe there's something to it. When I
first encountered that bug, it drove me nuts the way it would come and
go almost without rhyme or reason.

One way to rule out the kernel, would be if the same kernel can be
booted from the HFS partition. If you have no better way, you can use
"cpout netbsd netbsd" from within the Installer's minishell.
