Crashes and burns horribly on Sony Vaio PCG-3xx.

I've got it to boot, _once_, after warmbooting from Windows or some
such. Every other combinatin crashed immediately after the PCI-bios
messages. I've also pruned the PnPbios attachments back. No difference.

The crahses reboot back to the BIOS and cleared the screen before I
can read anything.
