Subject: kernel won't start on i386

Has anybody had any success in the past few days getting an i386 kernel
to boot?  I've tried with sources updated on each of the last 3 days, to
no avail.  I tried building a GENERIC kernel today to verify that it wasn't
something specific to my kernel config, and that didn't work either.

All I get when I try to boot is the bootloader message (this from a custom
config; GENERIC does the same, but the numbers are different, of course):

  booting wd0a:netbsd - starting in 0
  2422950+35300+168700 [65+129968+94525]=0x2b9498
  [stops here after CRLF--no further output]

The currently working kernel is 1.5S from March 15, and I also successfully
booted the 1.5T GENERIC kernel from the April 7 snapshot.

The system is a pentium pro 200 (dmesg from April 7 snapshot kernel):
