That reminds me.  boot -d seems to have pmap issues, including (as
reported by other people) on real hardware.  IIRC, when -7 is stopped
in boot -d the hw pmap tree is not initialized or something.  I don't
really know x86 to interpret VBox guru properly.  More recent kerenels
don't even get to the ddb prompt, iirc.

There are more details at http://gnats.netbsd.org/53311 (modulo my
confusion about automatic bt).

Please, could you take a look when you have time?
Thanks in advance.
