This bug was fixed recently. I think despite you're running the latest
SA kernel, this isn't the latest kernel you could run. At about the same
time that this bug was fixed, the kernel became bootable on old and new
ARM processors, so the SA kernels became obsolete. What you want is a
netbsd-current kernel from the autobuild directory,
Try /pub/acorn/RiscBSD/auto-build/netbsd-100397-voyager for example and
see how that works.
WARNING These are NetBSD-current snapshot kernels and are probably not
guaranteed to even boot, but most of them should work. If the latest one
doesn't, try the one from the day before....
Ale.
