Helge,
In regards to the memory problems AND the filesystem problems:
When you boot with #78, is the kernel name "/netbsd"?
As a test, could you try moving /netbsd to /netbsd.78 (or /netbsd.boot),
then rename the #91 kernel to /netbsd.
I have heard reports of strange problems with various memory and filesystem
issues if the running kernel is not /netbsd.
Thanks for all the help!
