Is the kernel build directory on the same partition as root? If so,
"mv" doesn't really move the file from the high numbered cylinders;
it just updates the root directory with the location of where it is
already, which triggers the known bug in the Booter.

Try "install" instead. For now, try

	ln netbsd netbsd.foo
	install -r netbsd.foo /netbsd

and then try to boot from "netbsd".
