I've tried it both with and without this option; same results:
MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS seems to make the machine reboot.

First, I've tried my own kernels on three different machines:  the
other two are a DEC 486 and a DEC pentium, and this one is a
miscellaneous-part pentium.  All behave the same way, as far as I can
tell.

Second, I just tried the kernel from ssto-12C-970314b, and it hangs
after identifying my scsi drive.  It doesn't get as far as wdc0.

PEM> 3) Are you absolutely up-to-date with current?

I was several days ago when I last tried this.  I'll try another
kernel now, based on yesterday evening's sup...
