Installed OK, but hit this while booting from disk:

Starting inetd.
Starting cron.

NetBSD/sparc64 (tinkerbell) (console)

login:

seemed OK from there. This happens every boot.

got it to panic while mounting a Solaris 7 ufs partition (ufs_lookup.c,
ufs_lookup(), "mangled entry" - I lost the panic msg)

This is because under Solaris, I use -o logging.. fortunately, mounting
without -o logging under Solaris made it work under NetBSD.

It may be worth making a note of this in the docs or www.
