I tested with your kernel. Here is the result:

 - boot using 1.5.2 netboot.
 - gzip netbsd file you gave to me. ( -> netbsd.gz)
 - no root NFS export. Do I need it to boot the kernel successfully
   before mounting root?

Output:

------------------------------------------------------------

And it hangs. Cursor blinks at bottom, but no responds with any
keystroke. Even halt button doesn't work, so only way to reboot is
pressing reboot button or power off.

Anyway, thank you for building custom kernel!
