Hi Ross,

I had to reinstall NetBSD from scratch, because I used the
disk for my OpenBSD tests, but I'm back now with a running
NetBSD 1.5.2 system:

multia# uname -a
NetBSD multia 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (GENERIC) #37: Sat Aug 18 10:02:07 MEST

Nothing special, just the plain installation sets
base,etc,kern and man from
ftp.netbsd.de:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5.2/alpha/binary/sets

If you can help me to decide if my CPU is broken or not I'll be
very happy...
