You need to update ofwboot to be able to load the larger 2.0 kernels. I 
built this from source and used installboot on it. If you don't want to 
do this yourself, I can send you the relevant files you need to do that. 
  Of course, if you already have the 2.0 binary sets laying around, 
ofwboot and bootxx that you need should be in there somewhere.

Once you have that working, you should be able to load the 2.0 GENERIC 
kernel, so then you can try the workaround on that one.

If that works you can upgrade manually, grab the sets you need and 
extract them all except etc.tgz into the root. Then read the install 
notes for what you need to do when upgrading (run MAKEDEV, and use 
postinstall to merge the new etc.tgz contents into your /etc)

When done, you have netbsd 2.0. You will have to continue using the 
workaround each time you boot though, until the bug is fixed.
