11.Ram Disk:> Work:NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.2/installation/misc/loadbsd\
-ASn2 Work:NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.2/binary/kernel/netbsd

That's my command!

Even when I startup with loadbsd without any option, I get the same
result.

11.Ram Disk:> Work:NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.2/installation/misc/loadbsd\
Work:NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.2/binary/kernel/netbsd

It keeps on promping for the shell (no regular booting) ;((
