Sorry if this is too obvious, but I find the obvious part is what
I always forget. :-) Did you check to see if your kernel is built
with the COMPAT_NETBSD32 flag enabled? I'm not sure if it's enabled
in the pre-built ("GENERIC") kernel, I'm just now downloading the
kernel source myself (I've customized my FreeBSD kernel, but haven't
yet messed with either of my NetBSD sparc kernels - 1 32-bit and 1
64-bit).
