  Well, I think it turns out to be a "stupid user trick".  I rebuilt 
everything, including my own custom kernel, with a recent 5.1.  But, I think 
the generic I tried to boot was in fact an older one, around the 5.1 days.  :-/ 
 Extracting the more recent GENERIC and booting shows about what we'd expect, 
and it seems to work properly.  Sorry for the noise to the list.

  On a separate note, though, when I tried a GENERIC kernel from the site you 
liked to above, it doesn't boot.  It hangs after attaching psycho0 (full dmesg 
at end).

  I looked to find that I still have a patch in my netbsd-5 tree that removes 
some code.  I'm sure there was a reason I did this, and I suspect it was 
discussed on port-sparc64, but darned if I can remember it now:

  I'll have to go back through my mail and see if I can find out why this 
affects me, but must not affect everyone....
