I got the console kernel (netbsd-1.4l-DMASCSI-CRT) loaded and it goes
through the usual power up messages. However, this is what I got when I
answered the question for the boot partition (sd0a):

panic: ptelen error in system space: addr 0: pc 800cc3d5
stopped in swapper at: _arithflt+0x26e      mov $5,r0


This only happens when I try running this on the built-in console.
Booting from the printer port console, it seems to work without
problems.

P/A
