 Earlier today, I said:

 I tried to do that by installing the 6.1.4 userland and then running
 
   mv /boot /boot.old
   cp /usr/mdec/boot /boot
   installboot /dev/rsd0c /usr/mdec/bootxx /boot
 
 and now the machine no longer boots even the kernels that worked
 before.  The full console output from power-on is:
 
   WARNING: Unable to determine keyboard typeCan't open input device.

 Based on the "Data Access Exception" message and the ROM revision,
 it looks like I may also be be suffering from PR 37080.
