I vaguely remember trouble like this with the Firewire controllers  
used in G3 Powerbooks ( bus probe would take bloody ages or never  
finish ) - the INSTALL kernel works because it doesn't have firewire  
support built in. Unfortunately I don't have the hardware to  
investigate - the onboard firewire controllers used in G4 hardware  
work fine and so does the one on a PCI card in my beige G3 :/

You can disable the firewire driver by booting with -c ( as in boot  
<whatever>netbsd -c ) and then 'disable fwohci'.

This should at least get the kernel to boot.

have fun
Michael
