I have booted my SMP hypersparc SS20 w/ a cvs'd version of sys:
so far it looks good--the only thing that bombed was sshd. after an
updated userland from the snapshot from releng.netbsd.org ..
200301120000 (serveral programs wouldn't run--make, etc) sshd would
run, but wouldn't get far enough to login:
Jan 17 02:42:52 ceridwyn sshd[195]: error: Bad prime description in line 4
there are lots of cute little things that won't work, sometimes tar
will die with:
tar: Unable to set up signal handler <Bad file descriptor>
and it always does that if you try to use the -z option.
ntpdate wouldn't work this last boot, but ntpd will (and does 
show the same problems others have seen)

anyway, here's my dmesg:
