System: NetBSD t23.ephemeral.org 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (T23) #10: Sun Jun 13 17:53:30 EDT 2004 rumble@t23.ephemeral.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/T23 i386

>Description:
For some reason the new boot code present in 2.0 and -current
fails to function properly on my VIA Epia 5000 mini-itx board.
While 1.6 works fine, the present code causes the monitor to
attempt to resync like crazy, followed by either an eventual
reboot, or a hard hang. 

The screen blanks quickly, but the issue appears to occur either
late in bootxx (past the boot1() function return) or early in boot2.
As a minor datapoint, the pxe boot works fine.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install 2.0 or -current bootstrap onto your favourite media and
attempt to run on a VIA Epia 5000-based system.

>Fix:
Unknown.
