Subject:   Problems booting 486/66 after 3.1

Hi

I have a Micronics 486 VLB motherboard (unknown exact model) that doesn't
like FreeBSD beyond 3.x.  3.1-RELEASE works fine on this motherboard but
4.x versions reboot immediately following the display of the Copyright
notices and FreeBSD version line.

I have been trying to upgrade this installation since 4.0-RELEASE.  I just
haven't had time to determine exactly which release blows up until today. 
I believe that getting 3.5.1-RELEASE boot -v output will require several
hours / days to download and install.  By that time I will probably not
have time to work on it again.  I could do a 3.4 install if you need it.

What other data do I need to gather?

I have an ed0 interface at 0x300 but I can't convince 3.1 to use the
kernel.config file to enable it automagically from either / or /boot/.

boot -v with 3.1-RELEASE:
