OK, I cross-compiled a new kernel based off netbsd-currnet (which has 
that patch in it).  I'm trying to boot the machine diskless, and it 
boots up until this point and then freezes:

warning: no /dev/console
init: Creating mfs /dev (363 blocks, 896 inodes)

I used the default config for the "GENERIC" kernel when I compiled it.

The LEDs still chase back/forth on the back of the machine, but I've 
waited at least 20 minutes and the machine didn't go any further.

Ideas?
