This feels very similar to a panic I got last night while rcp'ing a set of
19991018 tarballs from a multia to an i386. On reboot the ncr0 was very
unhappy, but after an SRM reset command it was working again.

Sorry I can't give any detail beyond a "me too" report, but that's one of
the drawbacks to running local consoles instead of serial.

(And yes, Ross, given enough time a multia _will_ produce a snapshot.
FWIW, it was the one you fixed for me.)
