Do a `.trap-registers'.  Look at the TPC values.  I expect it died in the
PROM (address 0xf000000 or so).  Newer machines often have buggy PROMs which
don't allow replacing a mapping without removing it first (which tends to be
a pain if you're executing from that mapping).  Try a -current kernel and
ofwboot.
