After booting the following sequence of messages appear regularly:

release, and changes are good that this issue is fixed. If not, I'd  
like to fix it ASAP.
If we can pinpoint the problem and it is not related to acpica there  
is a good chance that it can be backported to the netbsd-4 branch.

I should be able to try a netbsd-5 kernel next time I'm in front of the machines (though I can probably only do it with one of them as the other is the active firewall and gateway now).
I'm not yet building my own netbsd-5 kernels yet though so a matching  
configuration is not possible and the default GENERIC will not provide  
all the useful information and diagnostics.  If you have a kernel with  
all the useful *VERBOSE and *DEBUG options enabled (and BUFCACHE=10 as  
these machines have 4GB and with NMBCLUSTERS=32768 or so too!) then  
please let me know where it is, thanks!  I can post the diff of my  
current conf file if that helps.
