 Not entirely true. The problem is, that a once initilized card such
as Ethernet, Arcnet or even several gfx-boards are sending interrupts,
which NetBSD cannot evoluate and then just hangs.

 Possible workarounds: Don't start network on ADos when you know you 
will start NetBSD. Don't forget to rename nipc.library if you
run (or don't run, but have it present) Envoy and ToolManager.

 If the network is still working when you start NetBSD, then just don't
stop the remote machines, while you run NetBSD.

 Final workaround: The kernel needs to reset every possible card or
needs to be poloished to work with non-identified interrupts.

 No need to remove. Just don't initialize the card with ifconfig on
ADos-side.
