Ok, just to continue... Yesterday I supped, and this morning I grabbed
Jonathan's latest as/ld/gcc binaries, did a make clean, and rebuilt the
kernel from scratch.

I also put some printf()s in machdep.c and the kernel dies in 
locore.S:spl0():

Now, the only asm I remotely understand is 6502, pdp-11, and 68k so 
I'm at a loss to figure this one out... Oh, and my R2000 book is packed
in a box in my garage waiting for me to move into my new hosue next
week...

Anyone have any ideas?  Oh; ds3100 btw.
