The internal disk was split between boot, penguin-OS (Gnewsense), and
OpenBSD before NetBSD had support for LOONGSON processors.  OpenBSD
shares swap, "/tmp", and an auxiliary filesystem with penguin-OS by
keeping them as ext2fs.  Not wanting to disturb the setup, I put NetBSD
root and "/var" on SD card, sharing those same on-disk partitions.

(Lately, NetBSD's ext2fs support seems to have gotten flakey, but I haven't
tried again recently.)

See above.  I've been pondering a larger disk for it so I can give NetBSD
a completely independent set of filesystems while penguin-OS/OpenBSD can
continue to share.

Ah.  I forgot -current enables DIAGNOSTIC by default, but not any *DEBUG.
I'll see about those in my next build.  (My YEELOONG config includes
LOONGSON and turns off unneeded options/devices.)
