You see that this kernel is tagged as Linux, not as NetBSD as I said.
So U-Boot will use the Linux startup convention, but the kernel code
will interpret the data as for the NetBSD startup convention. Thus the
crash.

I fixed the wrong tagging in -current with:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2019/09/27/msg109439.html

and that hasn't been pulled up to -9.
