System: NetBSD beasty.aprisoft.de 1.5Y NetBSD 1.5Y (BEASTY) #0: Tue Nov 20 17:25:21 CET 2001 martin@beasty.aprisoft.de:/usr/src/sys-mp/arch/i386/compile/BEASTY i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

When using a serial console, this machine works very reliable. Booting the
same kernel with kbd/vga as console makes it panic after a few minutes
when doing a build.

It just reboots, no crashdump.

I was running X on the console in both situations, the only difference is
where the console is attached. I have options UCONSOLE and xconsole is
running.
