I was in the final phases of testing a new 64-bit time_t ISO and for the
first time tried something other than an Ultra-60. Guess what...
So I think I have an arch that will reliably cause me the problem (I
spent the rest of last night installing it off the last snapshot
which was done a day or two before the new devfs stuff, I'm just
getting it to the point I can start building test kernels). I also spent
some time finding the code I need to care about and sure enough, looks
like the same problem as alpha. cninit() is called before proc0 gets
set up and mutex_init().
I'll spend some time today coming up with my best guess at how to
rearrange that chunk of machdep.c.

That should work but don't upgrade any farther past that until the
console issue gets taken care of.
