I'm using current state of netbsd-5, because I've read in the tech-net
mailing list archives about your experience and the fact that it had been
fixed in netbsd-5. It was a 5.1 stable before, so i recompiled and upgraded.

Interesting. Maybe I could try that :)

I will investigate. Anyway, the domU is just a test machine. The production
one will be a "normal" NetBSD (embedded) machine, so no problems
like that.
