I think (hope! ;-) that the problem is that the kernel has grown
so large that it bumps into the boot loader, causing Bad Things
to happen.

This problem should have been fixed on the netbsd-1-4 branch
after 1.4.2 was released by relocating the boot loader higher up
in the first 4MB physical memory bank.  I submitted a PR on this
(initially misdiagnosed by Yours Truly as a uvm problem...), I'm
currently offline and can't easily find the PR#, but you can find
it in the CHANGES-1.4.3 file on the netbsd-1-4 branch.

Anyway, if you could make a try with the install media from the
1.4.3_ALPHA snapshot that'd be much appreciated.
