For what it's worth, strings on the kernel in kern.tgz shows:

NetBSD 1.5K (GENERIC) #1: Mon Nov 27 21:12:58 JST 2000
    tsubai@mint.iri.co.jp:/a/1125/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC

... and what I get from the bootloader on the machine (just installed
a new one from the floppy in the same snapshot which, incidentally,
boots just fine; I'd been hoping it was my quite old bootloader
disagreeing with the newer kernel):

2974424+233060 

Guess I'm going to try some kernels from earlier snapshots... wish I
had a -current machine so I could make a -current machine.
(Alternately, wish that weren't necessary.)
