Usually, SPX-cards complain this way about the missing signal termination. The
error doesn't show every time, but you may usually ignore it. Connect a
monitor, flip S3, and check out, if you get a picture.

And, to say it in advance: After having run NetBSD on it, you will get an
error in SYS also, maybe for the rest of your life :( Doesn't seem to matter,
but looks a bit ugly (i think, NVRAM contents are damaged by NetBSD or so).
