I tried installing the very latest snapshot on my SPARCstation 10
(M41) and the kernel frequently crashes.  This may be due to the
SuperCache.

mainbus0 (root): SUNW,SPARCstation-10
cpu0 at mainbus0: TMS390Z50 v1 @ 40.300 MHz, on-chip FPU
cpu0: physical 20K instruction (64 b/l), 16K data (32 b/l), 1024K \
 external (32 b/l): cache enabled

(gdb) target kcore /var/crash/netbsd.1.core
panic: kernel fault

Has anyone else experienced these errors and knows how to fix them?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
