For quite some time before 1.6 I had that problem with 1.5Something
(-current). However, a few seconds without batteries is enough to bring
it back to Windows CE, always remember to lock the latch after inserting
the batteries. (I do not have the backup batteries installed at
all, they're no use for NetBSD and the machine drains them in a few
weeks anyway.)

It's been some months since I installed it from scratch, but isn't
NetBSD/hpcmips installation sysinst-based, just like i386?

I remember having done a quite normale installation from SCSI-CDROM,
worked fine.

What was the problem with the kernel? I run a 1.6 release with pcic
without problems. Should I worry?
