When it fails are you booting with the AC adapter unplugged? If so: http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=38360That could very well be it; I haven't isolated the conditions that cause it. I'll watch; thanks.
Joerg suggested checking the power settings in my BIOS. There is a strategy for when on battery, and the default was something like "Power savings". Changing it to "Automatic" makes est work when booted from battery.
