OK, I think I made a silly mistake.  I pulled out the supposedly
offending 32MB card and noticed the suspicious bus terminator resistor
pack still in its socket....  I quickly removed it and tried to boot
again.  Unfortunately I then got a memory error panic as xlogin was
starting and sure enough there was an un-correctable error light on the
card.

So, for now I've replaced it with a spare 16MB card, and all is well.

Unfortunately even with more than adequate memory (40MB, 18 free
according to systat after logging in to an X11 session), this 3/260 is
very perceptively slower running NetBSD-1.2 diskless than a physically
slower and less amply configured 3/60 (12MB) running SunOS-4.1.1U1
diskless.  The only difference I'm unable to account for with
hard measurements is the difference between X11R5 on a mono bw2 and
X11R6 on the CG2.
