Default NetBSD on external HDD won't boot

Hi there,

today, I've tried to install NetBSD 5.1 on an external USB drive. The third attempt to install the OS finally went through the installation process till its end.

Then I configured Grub2 on the internal HDD to start NetBSD from the external drive. The boot process starts but then suddenly stops (not necessarily at the same position!). After some minutes this message appears:

kernel: supervisor trap page fault, code=0

Think, it was a bad idea to install NetBSD to an external drive, wasn't it?
