Hi Gert,

The /ofwboot that I am using is the one that came with the NetBSD 2.0 
ISOs -- the install on this box was fresh (i.e. not an upgrade from 1.6)

Also, the /ofwboot that is on the box has no problem booting the GENERIC 
kernel included in the kernels.tgz in the ISO, it just can't boot the 
kernels that I've built.

This issue has me kinda befuddled -- I'm thinking about setting up a 
netboot environment on one of my other systems to allow me to easily 
play with new compiles of ofwboot.net.  I've located the section of 
ofwboot where its blowing up, but don't have the environment to debug 
while avoiding fubar'ing the box.

Any further thoughts?
