Well, I tried really hard to get a serial console going, but my Linux minicom
doesn't want to send out my commands, making it hard to hit "enter" when it
asks for the mfsroot floppy.  I'll have to work on that some more, but for now
I will type by hand..

Here is what I see on the screen when it panics:

---top of screen---

Hope that helps.  This machine usually runs Debian Linux with a 2.2.0pre7
kernel, which works fine (but it's not FreeBSD).  I have to flash the SRM
console in to boot FreeBSD, and I flash the ARC console back to use Linux.

Let me know if I can help in any way...I can't really move forward from here.
