Hi David, hi Mark!

Thanks for taking the time to investigate.

Hmmm... is that 'hypervisor copy' method the better one?  Is 'page
flip' deprecated?  If so, maybe the NetBSD people can pick this up in
the long run.

Note that I cpuld reproduce the problem using either NFS or ftp
installation methods.  The panic would occur only after substantial
network traffic, i.e. not after the first packet.

Will do... but it might take a day or two.  The box is jumpstarting SXCE
build 122 as I write.  I'll certainly try to reproduce it under 122.
