Hmm, so, RISCstation 2200 now can boot from local ide disk as root device,
great!

That means either
	- /var/db/kvm.db doesn't match working kernel.
	  you have to copy the working kernel image (elf version) to /netbsd,
	  and have to run "kvm_mkdb" (or have to reboot, since booting
	  process does the "kvm_mkdb" automatically).
or
	- you have to recompile vmstat binary with header files
	  of the working kernel.
