You DID install the new libkvm and friends, I hope?

Hm, you should identify the exact drive type and model, and error
message. If it is one of those braindead drives which say "yes, I'm
here" at each available logical unit number at their target ID, NetBSD
core group needs that information fast to include it into the exception
list.

errr, try to write it down exactly. Might be harmless. Look into the
syslog files for it.

You need the appropriate libkvm for your kernel, and maybe even the
appropriate ps for your libkvm.

Thats ok. The old pppd doesn't know about the correct procedure to tell
the new kernel part to go up.

Use a Polaroid and a scanner ;-) Just kidding.
