Hi Stefan,

I just installed NetBSD 1.5.2 from the ISO image on my Centris 660 AV and
had the same problem, which may be related to yours. In my case, I found a
reference to the solution in the archive (from this January I think) that
the 1.5.2 distribution kernel was broken for the Centris 660 AV, and the
solution was to try with the -current kernel and booter.

I grabbed the binary kernel from -current and the latest version of the
booter and immediately it worked. I realize you said you installed the
latest available version, but just in case you did not mean the -current
version I thought I'd mention this.

Hope this helps,

David B.
