I believe this is due to not copying the new kernel to /netbsd.

Remember you have to install the kernel in both the wince partition (for 
the initial boot) and also on your netbsd /, so that when netbsd reboots 
and boots from /netbsd its using the new kernel, not the one you got from 
the 1.5 installation procedure.

I did this once, before I realized what was happening.

This explains both your symptoms.
