 AFAIR I have never managed to get NetBSD to work on this machine. But
 it hasn't been powered on since at least 2006. I'm happy that I finally
 got it to multiuser and will try to find a more proper fix for the boot
 hang issue.

 The dino(4) man page says the DMA corruption bug only affect revision
 <3 bridges (this has r3.1) and not cujo bridges.
 
 Btw minor issue: top(1) shows that 100% time is spent servicing
 interrupts. but this seems bogus, when I break to ddb it is always in
 uvm_pageidlezero and vmstat -i does not show any interrupt storms.
