Ok, so having just done a search, I see your NetBSD/alpha bug was reported
in the "kern" category.  For the record, Alpha bugs belong in the "port-alpha"
category.

Machine Check vector 0x660 is often some sort of hardware failure.  But
in order to find out what really happened, we need to decode some
info that is ... not documented very well.

If I add some code to do this, and make a new boot floppy, would you
be willing to test it?
