All netbsd kernels are compiled with -msoftfloat and no FPU
instructions are used in kernel. Maybe the real problem here is
a bug in the interrupt handler caused by spurious interrupts
from framebuffer.

That 1.4L image is too old and it does not include sysinst.

NetBSD 1.6 supports R3000 newsmips and it actually works fine on
my NWS-3470, but it has problem on machines which have unsupported
framebuffers. Probably there are some problem on console initialization,
but it's a bit hard to debug without a real machine..
