I've tried 2 different kernels today, one I built from netbsd-4 that I
synched last night, and another from here:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200708240002Z/cobalt/=
binary/sets/kern-GENERIC.tgz

Neither boots. Here's what I get:

And that's it. I copied my old kernel and I can manually boot it by
typing the path into the bootloader, so it's not a huge deal. I'd just
like to be able to run r4.

As a side note, I've been using that 3.0_BETA labeled bootloader for a
very long time now, I have no idea if it's part of the problem? If it
is, which one should I use? I just have it here:

/boot/vmlinux.gz (where /boot is the ext2 mount point)

The kernel that I'm running now is:

root@taz-dmz:/ # uname -a
NetBSD taz-dmz 3.1 NetBSD 3.1 (TAZ3) #0: Mon Dec 11 07:20:22 MST 2006  root=
@fogh
orn:/usr/obj-cobalt-3.1/sys/arch/cobalt/compile/TAZ3 cobalt

Thanks for any help.
