Looks like the Axil has a supersparc-like CPU, but without the ecache. The
cache doesn't yet work on these machines (there's a coherency problem),
and it is supposed to get disabled. My best guess is that the chip isn't
getting recognized as such because its a clone rather than the real thing.
If you can rebuild the kernel, try commenting out the call to cache_enable()
at around line 419 of sys/arch/sparc/sparc/cpu.c, as below (the line
number is from 1.2B, so it may differ in 1.2):

                } else
                        printf("%s: physical %dK combined cache (%d bytes/"
                                "line) ", dev->dv_xname,
                                cacheinfo.c_totalsize/1024,
                                cacheinfo.c_linesize);
		/* cache_enable(); */
        }
}
