Mixing memory modules is a no-no.  I have a 5000/240 which had 48MB of RAM
in 32+8+8 configuration, and NetBSD choked with ECC errors, refused to
boot sometimes, and was generally unhappy and unstable.  I pulled the 8MB
modules and the machine works fine.  [1]

Mixing different size modules just doesn't work under NetBSD.  (At least
not currently.)

[1] I'm still having trouble with the machine rebooting when my RZ23 is
    pegged with IO requests from a Bonnie run, but I haven't tried goats,
    chickens, or alternate cabling/termination yet...
