Err, `hose1', on a 1000a?  Now I'm confused. As a cia box it couldn't have
more than one real hose, right? Perhaps a ppb and more than one bus, sure.

I've made a set of install tools that will print the slot code, which will
probably tell us how to fix it.

It's true that the install can be made to work by either unplugging the
keyboard and plugging in a serial console, or by moving the vga, but before
or after doing that it would be really neat if the test kernel could be
booted with the card in its original location.

Please mail me the output it prints just before crashing. If you do get it
going some other way, at least send me or `port-alpha-maintainer@netbsd.org'
the dmesg or /kern/msgbuf.  Thanks.
