I've revived my VS3100 KA41 A from the dead and was able to install
1.5.2 on it.

Now, I'm trying to compile a smaller kernel on it, followed the
basic procedure I've used on other ports (dmesg | grep ' at ' ) to
find devices that need to be supported, etc.

The only CPU I set it to have was the "VAX43" CPU, which was
commented to be for the 'VS 3100/76'

But the resulting kernel won't boot. :/

Seeing as how it takes ~2 days to compile, does anyone have any
suggestions that might make it work on the next run? =)

The config I'm using can be viewed at:

and the boot sequence, from power-on through the successful booting
of the GENERIC kernel can be found at:
