I've noticed that when a kernel reports

         biomask ffc5 netmask ffe5 ttymask ffe7

life is good, while, if it reports (for the same system)

         biomask ef45 netmask ef65 ttymask ffe7

It hangs, always like this:

Xspllower(0,...,,,) at Xspllower+0xe
configure (...) at configure+0x5a
main(...) at main+0x360

There are two glaring bits different between the biomask and netmask
for the hanging and working system.

So, the obvious question is: how to I force the kernel to use the
working masks? 

I've been poking around in i386/isa/isa_machdep.c and
i386/i386/autoconf.c but I fully admit that I don't really know what I
am doing...
