Where are you located? I'm in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. If you can get the machine (or easier, the board) to me, I can probably fix or replace that switch for you, if that's not something you want to dig into.
I'm in Brazil. Overseas shipping is really expensive, almost impossible :-(
Alternatively, it might be practical to chop out the switch and wire in a small toggle switch to hide somewhere.
I can try to do something like that myself, but I have poor hardware fixing skills. I'll probably ask one of my electronic colleagues for help. Anyway, I'll probably first try to a software workaround, probably changing the NetBSD kernel. Since OpenBSD seemed to boot fine, I'm in hope of making it work with NetBSD.
