I have no idea why it apparently bites only NetBSD but what I'd do in  
your place is this:
- - reseat the CPU module. I got bitten by that with my GigE - the  
thing got loose and the weirdest things started to happen until the  
machine wouldn't even power up.
- - check and reseat /all/ the RAM modules
- - disconnect/clean/reconnect every connector
- - reset the PMU - remove the battery and let it sit over night to  
drain whatever leftover charge some capacitor might hold, there  
should be a jumper or switch to do that but I don't know where on the  
mainboard it would be

have fun
Michael
