>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot a 1.3 GENERIC kernel (either compiled, or from the
	FTP site). Configure the card with an IP address. As soon
	as a packet arrives on the port, the system freezes.
	 
	The system has a high chance of failing to get beyond the
	"root file system type: ffs" with the card in the computer.
	It makes it sometimes, but crashes as soon as /etc/netstart
	runs. Removing the card from the computer results in a 
	stable, consistent boot. We were hoping to go to 1.3 to
	get support for the entire SMC/DEC network card range, which
	1.2 does not support.

	Note: we do have /dev/console, and the system *does* boot
	if one tries enough, but it does crash if de0/de1 is configured.

	The identical setup ran 1.2G.
