While this is rather interesting, I'm trying to get a 1.0 kernel to work,
not a -current. I finally have some info on the panic (I usually get two
of them so the first scrolls off the screen):
trap type=2 code=0 v=0
pid=24 pc=000051ea ps=2000
sfc = 0001 dfc=0001
followed, of course, by the manditory register dump and stack dump.
I was hoping that someone would tell me that this is a well known problem
with a simple fix.
I'm going to try to compile the INSTALL kernel and see how that fares.
