>Environment:
Nothing terribly odd other than the NexGen PCI MB and P90 CPU. Only 32M
parity DRAM, old Adaptec 2940, cheap NE2000 clone ethernet (installed but
not currently in use) and an STB 4-com board on IRQ 12. Video is a Mach32
on PCI, 2M.
Some snippets from dmesg:

>Description:
Booting new kernel endlessly reboots. Screen message is only the first
of the normal boot indicating where and how much of the kernel is being
loaded. The next line, "BIOS Basemem..." never appears.
This was the last kernel I was able to build that will boot my system:
FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #0: Fri May 30 22:41:29 CDT 1997
dkelly@nexgen.hiwaay.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/NEXGEN
Tried "rm -rf /usr/src/sys" and using cvsup to build a fresh copy of
RELENG_2_2, no change. Tried building a new GENERIC kernel, no change.
>How-To-Repeat:
Any reboot with new kernel.
>Fix:
That's what *I'm* asking for! :-)
