I'll think this is caused by NETTEST trying to access routines in rom that
don't exists on a KA640/KA650. I found this bug some week ago while trying
to boot a MV3300. I'll see if I can replace the NETTEST image with a working
one.

The problem even exists in the bootblock and boot program in the latest 
snapshot. So installing NetBSD might be hard. 

I'll have written some new code for consio.c to handle KA640/KA650. I'll 
send-bug them soon...
