DomU NetBSD is. Something must be going wrong and that is my main concern.
A plain (minimal nx100MB) system and a login shouldn't use 100% CPU
whatever it is (server, 486SX or VM) I reckon but I am perhaps wrong. I
didn't have a chance to configure rc.conf at all so no service is running
whatsoever apart from the sendmail and perhaps inetd.

Just for a test I am gonna disable SMP and HT too. (I have set them back
since others suggested that its ok for dom0 and my problem was the memory
anyway) Also I will try linux domU but that is not my goal so gotta get
BSD going :)

Okay, will investigate that as well.

Ok I will try this too but rather fix the root cause... If it's not needed
for most cases I wouldn't be happy to use it. It would be perhaps just a
bypass...
