sysutils/hal problems during startup

[raymond.meyer%rambler.ru@localhost]

I'm running NetBSD-5 on sparc64. I installed hal, but on startup it
exits with error:

** (process:914): CRITICAL **: hal_device_property_get_bool: assertion
`device != NULL' failed
01:00:00.783 [I] devinfo.c:314: Preprobing
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer
*** [DIE] device_info.c:rules_match_and_merge_device():1087 : Rule is
NULL on jump

Any ideas? Do many people us hal on NetBSD or is it more designed for
Linux?
