I have a strange problem with NetBSD now that I have been hacking on the
kernel a bit to get the wd driver to stop locking my system up after a
few missed interrupts.  When it boots, it says "loader overlaps bss: kernel
must bzero" but continues to load and everything appears to work the same
as usual.  Is there something simple I am overlooking?

Does anyone have a patch for the /sys/i386/isa/wd.c driver yet????  I could
really use it, because my system is heavily used and I can't have it reboot
itself five times a day forever.  Plus, it *still* locks up often then too.
