I think it might be something about the ev5; I ran across something
saying that VMS has machine check problems when booting on an EV5 2x00
& a (binary) patch for it.  Your machine's problem sounds similar.

I have another "stab in the dark" floppy for you to try, but its just
a guess (going to ipl7 when probing the pci bus like linux does)
The floppy is at the same location: http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/kern.flp

If that fails too, you might try upgrading your SRM console to the latest
firmware available.
