So it seems to.  Somewhat hard for me to know what the exact problem is, 
since I don't know NetBSD internals, and I didn't write mboot.c32, but 
I'll try to look at it.

Any help would be appreciated, of course.

Personally, I'd like to have a rewritten mboot.c32 which uses the 
shuffle APIs, like elf.c32.
