 Hello Andrew,
 
 here is what I did today:
 
 - put printf after consinit() --> did not print out something (even not 
 to serial console), it reboots after
 
 	> boot
 	command(s): boot netbsd
 	18611208+666816+1430336 [886040+1244352+888633]=0x16e1ac0
 
 - added the beep.S and appropriate calls after consinit() and at the 
 beginning of main() --> did not beep on the affected machine, but does 
 beep two times as expected on a different machine
 
 So my assumption so far is, that the main function of init_main.c is not 
 reached. Can you give me a hint who (which C file) is calling main() and 
 where the interfacing between the boot loader and the kernel is 
 happening? Can the beep method be applied to the boot loader, too?
 
 Kind regards
 Matthias
