Almost anything. =


We understand that the STPC has problems running FreeBSD; we haven't =

been able to resolve the issues we have with the sample board we have.

But the symptom you're describing is quite different; the only way you =

are going to be able to resolve your issue is to build a kernel with =

DDB enabled, break to the debugger at the top of init386 and then =

single-step your way through until it falls over.
