I'd agree.  I've got a VAXstation 3100/M38, 16Megs RAM, SCSI/SCSI
controller, no color graphics boards present, 200MB RZ24, mono graphics
monitor, LK201 plugged directly into the back of the VS3100, console dip
switch set in the "down" position. I'm netbooting from a NetBSD/sparc
system using DHCP to provide the diskless setup.

When I boot this system up with the 1.4.1 GENERIC kernel it boots fine in
both serial and graphics mode.  When I boot the system up with the first
released DMA capable kernel under serial console it boots fine.  When I
boot it under the graphics console it, the kernel starts loading and just
when it finishes loading the kernel, it kicks into a restart.  I think
this happens when kernel tries to change the graphics mode to display the
smaller font.

I've not tried the second kernel posted by Ragge.
