The network controller on the VS3100 can only access 16MB of
	memory (the first 16MB in the machine). I believe NetBSD maps the
	buffers for the card at the top of memory, which obviously causes
	problems for machines with more than 16MB. 

	The problem is solvable in software, but I would assume none of
	the developers with VS3100s had more than 16MB in their machines
