Actually I haven't watched the console/TV for that.  I uploaded
my kernel to the Dreamcast, it executed it and I started pinging
the Dreamcast's IP-address.  After something like 50 seconds, I
got ping replies, but with a RTT of ~2ms (that's the normal RTT I
get when pinging the Dreamcast running ip-load - as opposed to
~0.3ms when it's running NetBSD).  In this case I send the kernel
to it again and again, until it boots NetBSD, which I just had to
do 3 times.

I'll try to notice where it reboots.
