 I am forwarding the exchange between the PR originator and me.
 
 Does i586_bcopy() have problems with certain steppings/models of
 Pentium?

 Try setting the configuration flag of npx0 to 0x01 in the User
 Configuration menu. This will prevent some Pentium-specific
 optimizaion code in the kernel code, which is causing problems in some
 systems.

 Thanks a lot. It boots now.
 BTW, my cpu is genuine Intel's Pentium 75 MHz, why does it
 not understand some Pentium-specific code ?
