NWS-3xxx machines require SIMMs with parity.
But I'm not sure if three chip SIMM works or not.
(SIMMS with 9-chips should work, though)

Hmm, if you got this even on serial consle, there are some problems
during initialization (for console or something).
Would you please try this image?

The kernel in this image will call fb initialization only on NWS-3470D.
If this does not work, more work is needed..
