At this point, I can report full success in getting FreeBSD 3.3-R
installed on this machine, with the full @g of physical memory.

It would seem that the issue was a bad install lfoppty, but I don't
see how, as both disks' compressed kernels were able to boot,
uncompress the kernels, and start loading.  _That_ was when the
the icky trap was happening.

Were the boot floppy images updated during the last couple of weeks?
