Hello, 
Here is my experience with NetBSD 3.88.20, GENERIC kernel with DEBUG and DIAGNOSTICS options enabled

The machine is D350 2 x 7200 CPUs, 1.5 GB RAM
The machine boots and works nicely under HP-UX 11.11

The netbooting of NetBSD kernels gives the following output on the serial console

Booting...

It seems that after leaving hppa_init (/hp700/hp700/machdep.c) processing goes back to locore.S and goes nowhere or idles helplessly

Moreover I'm not sure if this is ok for PDC_CACHE calls to fail

BTW OpenBSD 4.1 fails to boot on this machine generating similar messages
