I don't recognize this problem or anything, but, are you at least using
the newest snapshot available for both kernel and userland? I think this
is 20000205, yes?


BTW it's possible to point a kernel to a different root filesystem

ok

That is, pass '-a' to your normal OF boot command, and then type '-a' at
the secondary bootloader's prompt, too.  The kernel will then prompt you
for a root devicename (you can type '?' for a list) and filesystem type.

AFAIK this works on all the Open{PROM,Firmware} NetBSD platforms.
