The way the bootloader and kernel are arranged in memory upon booting
changed recently.  I know you definitely cannot boot a new kernel
using an old loader, and it doesn't surprise me too much that you

If you need it, you can probably still find an old bootloader in the
1.3 release directories on ftp.netbsd.org.
