3.x works on this machine:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD gw.os2warp.org 3.5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.5.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jul 20 03:22:

4.x don't get far enough to gather any information
>Description:
When attempting to boot from 4.x install floppies or a 4.x kernel on this
machine, it will do a hard reset after the following lines are displayed:

This happens with any 4.X install floppies.  I have gone back as far as
4.0-19990705-SNAP which is the oldest 4.0 Snapshot CD-ROM I have.

I would be willing to ship this system to anyone capable of fixing this 
problem.
