Great to hear you're trying it out.

Can you submit a port-next68k problem report on this?

Please include a ddb backtrace if you can, or at least the function
names and the actual faulting address if you're hand transcribing.

Is your network heavily loaded, especially with broadcast traffic?
I noticed something similar on another system I use sometimes,
but haven't had time to investigate.

Unfortunately, the stability of the port went down noticably due to
lack of maintanance.  I was optimistically hacking on the scsi
nightmare up until the 1.4 release under the illusion that I might
have gotten somewhere before then -- I was wrong.  I need to put aside
the futile scsi driver, clean out dma bugs introduced from my hacking
on it and deal with some of the regular port maintance issues.  If I
can get some time to hack on it, I should be able to get it to run
stably again.
