How irritaed I'm getting... I've not been able to the the assert fail
again, but I've gotten other errors at the same spot.

The latest was:

root file system type: ffs
panic: ltsleep: l_stat 3 != LSONPROC
Stopped in pid 1.1 (init) at    netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x4:        ret     zero,(ra
)
db{2}> bt
cpu_Debugger() at netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x4
panic() at netbsd:panic+0x1f8
ltsleep() at netbsd:ltsleep+0x764
prologue botch: displacement 112
frame size botch: adjust register offsets?
uvm_pageout() at netbsd:uvm_pageout+0xd8
uvm_pageout() at netbsd:uvm_pageout+0xd8
db{2}>

It seems it might be a problem with not getting the other CPUs started
perhaps?

Since that isn't possible, but that when I did have two identical cards,
I came just as far. I don't remember the exact error message, but it seems
as if it behaved the samea way.

Any more good ideas on what to try?
