This sounds like a problem with having a video card where we don't know
how to disable or clear the video blank interrupt (or some other nubus
card that is generating interrupts that we can't clear).

This, for example, is one that we don't know anything about...  ;-)

If you take a look at http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/howto/video.html,
you will see how to gather the information that we need to properly
clear your video interrupts (depending on the card, it might be
relatively easy).

Umm...  I've never used addresses in that range, but it looks to me like
the broadcast and netmask parameters don't match.  I'd expect

	IP: 10.1.1.5, netmask: 255.0.0.0, broadcast: 10.255.255.255

for a class A network or

	IP: 10.1.1.5, netmask: 255.255.255.0, broadcast: 10.1.1.255

for a network with the broadcast address you specified.  If I understand
the syntax right (probably not ;-), those two networks would be described
as 10/8 or 10.1.1/24, respectively.
