Not in my experience.

Is this netbsd.bin.gz or netbsd.gz.  That is, if you gunzip it,
is it a raw binary file or an ELF file?  The command you used
is to load a raw binary file.  I would expect an ELF file to
fail.

That's not actually garbage.  It's a serial debugging protocol
string representing a trap, I believe.
