I do wonder what installation method *should* be recommended if all
options worked?
These machines will likely not be networked-connected during
installation. I imagine loading the binary sets from a FAT32 partition
on the CF card has the disadvantage that you won't get the space the
tarballs take up as part of your NetBSD partition later, and it will
be slower on the slow mobile CPU, but unpacking them from another
machine could be hard for anyone who's other machine doesn't already
have NetBSD installed. Can sysinst be used cross-platform? I did
everything manually which involved reading a lot of man pages.

hpcboot-sh3 displays a warning message about symbols, and when I boot
the kernel anyway, the kernel very quickly prints "TLB miss/invalid"
and stops.

That makes sense.
