I got some more info. from kernel debugger.  Actually, it was some
sort of filesystem inconsistency... fscking stopped panics which were
"panic: ialloc: dup alloc".  Sorry for my bogusity.  But sometimes
fsck can't clear unref file that causes panics.  Inconsistency between
inodes on disk and those in core?

It looks like /etc/rc assumes the user has only one partition (i.e.
only /dev/sd0a).  It will fail on systems like mine which has separate
/ and usr partitions.  What will go wrong if it blindly mounts
/dev/sd${r}g on /usr?  I don't think it causes that serious errors.

Btw, I lost my BETA-0 {dev,misc}.tar files so I tried to get them
again from cray-ymp.  But, you know, BETA-0 directory is no longer
readable by anonymous users.  Could you make it readable by anonymous
users again?

Ken
