After further investigation, I have found how to avoid this.  Removing

"ed0		at ztwobus0		# dp8390 ethernet"

from the GENERIC config file fixed the problem (yes, it was a pain
to find this out).  My kernel now boots properly.  I don't own
a dp8390 ethernet card, so I have no idea why this is happening!
Is this a recent addition to the kernel, or has it been changed
recently?

The removal of that line was the only change from vanilla GENERIC
needed to get the kernel working on my machine.
