Yes, nothing in VAX /boot changed for a long time, and the regression happened between NetBSD 4 and NetBSD 5. In my testing a netbsd 4.0 install kernel could be loaded in slightly above 20s with the 4.0 /boot, but -current takes 3 min 30 seconds for the same kernel. The only obvious commit (crc32) was not the culprit, haven't had a chance to do a complete bisect yet. Martin
