I tired what you suggested:

13:05:47$ loadbsd -pn2 netbsd
Using 4M FASTMEM at 0x7c00000, 2M CHIPMEM
Kernel at 008d4630, Fastmem used at 07c00000
loadbsd: Can't copy downwards yet.: 

I also tried it without the n2 option but it comes back with the same can't
copy downwards error... 

Any other ideas? is it possible for someone to compile me a kernel with
specific info on my mem so that i can get it to work?
