Not easily... the only way I found to reproduce is to keep the machine 
running and working for some time... usually one or two days compiling 
stuff and being connected through ssh.

so netbsd 9 kernel on 8 userland on the SS10 ? Could be worth a test, 
but as said I have no "safe and certain way" to reproduce the issue, 
which makes it hateful.
My SS10 had issues when trying to boot kernel outside 1GB, I didn't make 
a separate parittion back then when I upgraded the HDD to the "mind 
bogging" 4GB :) That was back in NetBSD 2.0 times! It was also very 
fincky about accepting a second HDD. With various tests of "known good" 
HDDs I ended up breaking the cable. I found a replacedment, but then 
stopped "playing around" with this nice machine. I'll check how it is 
configured a the next boot.
