This is possibly afs bogosity. -current kernels need a different
afs module than 1.3.2 kernels. Also, you mentioned that you have a
"netbsd.new" kernel. AFS will always lose if your kernel is not in
/netbsd.
Also, "workstation failed to mumble mumble..." is an indication of network
absense. Can you ping things?
