hey there.

Doesn't matter if the kernel is custom or generic.
When I boot it, I get

TTTTTTT+DDDDDDD+BBBBBBB[+ddddddd+bbbbbb]
and the two copyright notices, then

Watchdog Reset
Program Terminated
ok


machine is a:

SPARCstation 5, No Keyboard
ROM Rev. 2.29, 256 MB memory installed, Serial #9331973.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:8e:65:5, Host ID: 808e6505.

I have a QFE/Sbus installed, X1049A.  One interface is connected
to a 10/100 n-way switch, the other three are not connected and have
no cables in them.  My le0 is connected to the same switch.

[QFE == 4 x hme]

Upon talking on the IRC channel, the conjecture is a hardware timer
somewhere, likely related to initialising the QFE.

A 2.x release kernel will boot, but ipf fails of course.  I don't have
2.x userland, only 1.6 and 3.99.x -- the latter of which causes everything
run to dump core.

What's changed?
