I'm trying to get a soekris net4501 up and running with the latest on the
netbsd-2-0 branch.  I've gotten as far as setting up the dhcp server, tftp
server, and file systems.  When the net4501 tries to load the kernel I stop 
getting any more messages on the serial console.  The kernel I'm trying
to boot is from the NET4501 config.  I tried adding 

options         CONSDEVNAME="\"com\"",CONADDR=0x2f8,CONSPEED=9600

and also

options         CONS_OVERRIDE   # Always use above! independent of boot info

I tried with and without the CONS_OVERRIDE part.

The comBIOS serial speed is set to 9600 baud which should match the serial
console speed in the kernel.

I've tried both nfs and tftp for delivering the kernel to the box with the
same result.

Any suggestions on what to try next?

The complete log from the serial console is:
