NWS-3xxx machines require SIMMs with parity.
But I'm not sure if three chip SIMM works or not.
(SIMMS with 9-chips should work, though)

Hmm, if you got this even on serial consle, there are some problems
during initialization (for console or something).
Would you please try this image?
http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~tsutsui/netbsd/boot-newsmips-1.6H.fs
The kernel in this image will call fb initialization only on NWS-3470D.
If this does not work, more work is needed..
