Yeah, NetBSD 6.1.5 and 6.0.6 actually reboot rather than print this
"stray interrupt" error. I'm guessing that's what's intended to happen
when this reserved operand is triggered.

I got as far back as NetBSD 5.2.3 and then it actually booted. I'm in
sysinst now.

Out of curiosity is there any reason to run sysinst if I've already
unpacked all the sets on the nfsroot? The diskless instructions seem
to skip running sysinst entirely and set everything up on the nfs
server by hand.
