Which version?  NetBSD-1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, or a -current snapshot?  Did 
you try a GENERICSBC kernel?

/dev/sda7 for root and /dev/sda9 for swap?  Are you sure you're running 
NetBSD?  That's not the naming convention NetBSD uses (or was using).

Try the GENERICSBC kernel.  The ROM Sniffer info isn't really important 
since both the GENERIC and GENERICSBC kernels are using the HWDIRECT code 
nowdays.  If you were running an MRG kernel the ROM Sniffer info would 
have been used.
