>Description:

http://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/amis/ lists a number of AMIs, including 
ami-820fddeb
for NetBSD 6.0_BETA on i386.

Starting instances using this AMI yields virtual machines that do not seem to 
accept
SSH connections (despite network firewall rules being open).

Note that AMI ami-230fdf4a appears to work just fine:
