| I decided to give sparc64/1.5.1 a try on one of my Ultra2 clone machines and
| after I boot miniroot it just drops into a kernel panic.
| this machine is a Tatung COMPstation Ultra2 2 x UltraSPARC-II 296MHz with
| 2048 megs of ram, using OpenBoot 3.11.
| it does seem to start booting the kernel as it displays this:

Sigh.  I'm beginning to sound like a borken record.

Try a -current kernel.  I beleive it should be fixed
in -current.  There are a large assortment to chose from
in ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64/kernels.

I think we may need to clean some of those out one of these
days.
