Subject: Question about hardware failure under netbsd-1.3_BETA

	Hello Fellow NetBSD users.  I have a question which is hardware
specific, but not necessarily port specific.  
	I have a NetBSD/sparc (Sparc 5) machine which has been running stably
for about a month.  Over the course of the last week, it has begun
rebooting ever more frequently.  Note that I have made no changes in the
software running on this box.  What I'm seeing is a kernel data fault with
the pc at the same value over and over again.  It's not always the same
value, but mostly it is.  Here are my questions:

1.  Does the address reported by the kernel represent a virtual address?
How, as I suspect, can I tell if the address is a problem with cache or a
problem with physical memory?

2.  Can I tell, for the Sparc, or for any other architecture for that
matter, if the problem is with memory, on-chip cache, or external cache?

Here's what I'm seeing, in case anyone has ideas.

Thanks in advance.
-Brian
