Please run `file(1)' on the netbsd.IP32 and report what it says; likely
you've transferred it in ASCII mode, it's still gzipped'ed or something
to the like.

You probably want to try a netbsd-GENERIC kernel from (for example):
ftp://releng.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/current/200301170000/sgimips/binary/kernel

I didn't pick that date for any particular reason, so I don't know if that
is a good, bad or inbetween kernel, but in theory it should be OK.
