I see it is not only in Germany tradition to show this sketch. :-)=20
I like it very much, so I took the names for some of my machines.

OK. It is a feature, no bug. This feature brought me to stumble after I
instaled my customized Kernel. The kernel did not run stable, so i
wanted to boot the old, what I renamed to "netbsd.GENERIC" ...

I thought that there is also a hardwareproblem. I have strange non
reproducable errors with the VAX. Maybe it is a thermal problem. First
I assumed it is related to the memory. (biterrors...) But without swap
the machine has gone through ten kernelcompiles without an error. Based
on experiences with other computers I believe that a successful
kernelcompile is only possible with errorfree RAM.=20

At the moment the "it hangs when it uses swap" is the only reproducable
error apart from SCSI and the unsupported SPX graphic...
