By default loadbsd only uses one memory block, have you tried to use
the "-n 2"-option to make it use all available blocks? (That would be
"loadbsd -bpZn2 netbsd". What's the p option, btw.? PAL?)
If the RAM on the card is autoconfiguring (i. e. does not need a
special program to be started under AmigaOS to be used), it should be
detected alright.
