Hi Simon,

my DECstation 5000/240 does not boot the kernel form your snapshot.
The messages on the console are:

...
Starting at 0x80030000
[netbsd ELF symbol table not valid]

and the machine solidly hangs (even reset doesn't work anymore, had to switch
the machine off).

I'm now running the old (stock 1.4) kernel with userland from the snapshot
(which seems to work o.k.).
