|  Hello folks,
|  
|  PROBLEM RESOLVED: the workaround is to compile the i386 kernel with PAE 
|  and without cpuacpi.
|  (as suggested by julien kroczek)
|  
|  I can confirm the comp successfully boots when I compile the i386 kernel 
|  PAE and comment out CPUACPI.
|  Even if my memory is only 2GB, standard kernel seems to be unable to 
|  check it.
|  The other proposal, to boot the latest kernel, did not work, both the 
|  latest amd64 and i386 from nyftp.netbsd.org failed to load. Amd was not 
|  even able to start booting.
|  
|  Unfortunately the kernel would not recognize the wireless card and it 
|  cannot find a driver for my usb/lan adapter mos0 which works flawlessly 
|  in Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. So the comp is pretty useless if I boot 
|  NetBSD and cannot access network... :-(
|  
|  Any tips for a good usb/lan adaptor for NetBSD?
|  Thanks
