Flaky NetBSD/i386 AMI for Amazon EC2

[Benny Siegert <bsiegert%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a NetBSD/i386 VM under EC2 using the
"NetBSD-i386-6.0-20121015-1027 (ami-59b4931c)" AMI in the us-west-1
zone. When I create such a machine, it consistently fails to come up
after creation, meaning that I cannot connect to it, and the "Show
system log" menu item gives an empty output.

Stopping the machine and starting it later _sometimes_ fixes the
problem. The 64-bit image works fine. (And yes, I do need a 32-bit
_and_ a 64-bit VM.)

Has anybody else had this problem? Who maintains the NetBSD AMIs?
