Do other kernels like the netbsd-1.2G-VS from Bertram work okay on your
VAXstation 3100?  The kernels I've compiled from a semi-current 1.2G
sources work on both my VS3100/M38 and M30, but they were without any mods
to the sources.  Not that knowing that helps you really.  If it's just a
matter of compiling a kernel with a specific configuration, I'd be willing
to compile a kernel for you.  This might eliminate the possibility of
there being a quirk in your source tree.

I've never seen that particular problem before.
