A lot of thanks go to Jason Godfrey, who told me to use a newer version
of the booter for newer kernels -- with booter 1.9.6 it worked instantly
--, and to David Bushong, who pointed me to the right kernels. (I didn't
try GENERIC-9 yet, but ADBTEST.160 works fine.)

And, of course, many many thanks to the NetBSD group for creating this
fine system!
