Can you try to put a amd64 GENERIC kernel as /netbsd.64 (or whatever)
into your 32bit setup, reboot and then interrupt the bootloader and
tell it: boot netbsd.64 ?

I'd expect that to show some bootloader messages and a line with cryptic
numbers (where it spins some ascii graphic while loading) and then nothing.

If that is what you see, please transscribe the last line of output.

Thanks!
