switched from 9.99 to 9.3, init dies

Hi all,

I "upgraded" (quotes intented) from a non-better-specified version of 
netbsd current of about April 2022 to NetBSD 9.3
I thought that I no longer had the time to compile and upgrade on my 
laptop so I switched.

After the upgrade (which I believe is partially a downgrade, I don't 
know when 9.3 was forked) boot dies with "panic: init died" apparently 
in snprintf.

If I boot "netbsd.old"... it dies too!

Fine, so I suppose it is not the kernel, but something in the userland 
that is messed up.

Ideas?

Maybe I can "upgrade" again with a certain releng version - get back to 
some non-release stuff, but salvage the laptop and then maybe have a 
better way to "switch back to release"?

Thanks,

Riccardo
