Try the kernel in ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/simonb/kernel-19981208.
It's a -current kernel as of about the 8th of December.  It's a GENERIC
kernel without the slip and ppp drivers, and COMPAT_1{0,1} enabled.

There were some problems fixed recently to do with large swap partitions,
but you shouldn't have seen that particular problem until swapctl was
run in /etc/rc.
