Hmm.

I just built a current kernel for sun4m and sun4c.

The 4m kernel boots fine. The 4c kernel hangs at root on sd0, but I can
L1-A it. 

This reminded me of a problem that I had a while ago, so I tried something.

I took removed the floppy disk driver from my config file, made a kernel 
and this booted fine on my IPX.

I would assume then that something in the fd driver is hanging the kernel?

Hmm, I just thought of something else, reboot needed...
