  The only time I've seen anything similar is when I've forgotten to add
the swap device when running in single user mode (or the swap device
didn't get added when going to multi user).

  I've seen something similar on my 3100, but it appears to only be the
initial console output.  I am able to enter my username and password
sucessfully, althought the username echo is garbled.  Once I've logged on,
console output is normal.  I haven't been able to track down this problem
yet.

  I saw this on -current recently, but it's been fixed since then. There
was a change to sys/vm/vm_swap.c on August 8 that was fixed on September
6.  I don't know why 1.3.2 would be doing this though.  Are you using
swapon or swapctl to add the swap device?

  If you can't add a swap device, then I'm not suprised your system hangs
trying to compile libc with only 24MB.
