Sure -- at least as per February 2000, which is when the system
running on my KA650 was built.  Since then, I've been unable to build
a kernel that doesn't panic (with various, seemingly non-related
reasons given, but I think it's interesting that the CMD controller
refuses to work at all afterwards until after a hard reset), or a
/boot that doesn't simply hang when it tries to load the kernel.  (In
fact, even back in February, the then-current /boot wouldn't, so I'm
still using one from sometime in the middle of 1999.)  Ragge has built
me a few test /boot images, and they don't work either, so it's not a
local software problem, at least.  My 1.4B installation (I think it's
1.4B; don't have it right here right now) is working very well, using
SCSI disks, tapes and CDs without any problems whatsoever.

Are you successfully building and running -current on a 220TM?  If
so, can you give some details about hardware and firmware revisions?
