Hi, Khorben
Sorry for taking so long to reply. This was on an updated version I had compiled (grabbed 7.0 source, updated with cvs, compiled into an iso, installed into a vm).
I had the problem when I used netbsd 7 release (the official iso), though. I went to compile the source in the VM, and it bombed. Things I compiled in FreeBSD (in another VM) bombed too; so I'm suspecting there's something wrong with the VM setup or with my host.
Thanks for your time and your reply!

Which version of NetBSD are you currently using?
There was an important fix for NetBSD on virtio a few months ago.
