The distribution kernels are behaving this way, as are kernels I have
built myself:

Rebooting with command:
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@5,8400000/esp@5,8800000/sd@3,0 File and args:
>> NetBSD/sparc Secondary Boot, Revision 1.8
>> (tod...@threepio.toddpw.net, Fri Mar 3 17:51:31 PST 2000)
Booting netbsd @ 0x4000
Bad format
Program terminated

Older (1.4.2) kernels are ok.

Any ideas?

I can provide the kernel config file if it would be usefull...


Cheers,

You should install newver bootblocks (version 1.9). Older (including 1.8)
didn't support loading ELF kernels.
