I tried all my boards here, and every one of them works.  I will bring
in a PCI/I-486SP3G this week and see if I can track this down.  You
mention that this works with a -current kernel, what happens if
you put that kernel on floppy?  Or if you copy the floppy kernel to
hard disk as /kernel.flp and try to boot it?
