I got this effect (dup alloc) some time ago while upgrading my
system... Try booting NetBSD in singleuser-mode and do a
"fsck -p" then. (If it complains about errors on the /-fs,
RESET the machine (ctl-amiga-amiga) after fsck has done its
job WITHOUT syncing the fs! Repeat the fsck to ensure you 
other partitions - /usr seems to need it - get checked too!)
