I don't think this is the problem.  The host I'm copying from is also 
FreeBSD (4.5-RC from about January 24th).

Here's an interesting data point.  In an effort to get more information 
out of the debugger, I re-config'd the kernel with "config -g".  After 
booting the new kernel, I tried to get it to fail in the same 
spectacular way, but it doesn't want to crash now.

Could it be dodgy hardware in my case, as well?  This install is going 
to be for my laptop, but I currently have the (new) drive in another 
(borrowed) laptop of the same brand/version/configuration (so I don't 
lose my workstation while I do this upgrade).  This machine has been 
running Win2k for a year or so without any trouble.

I find it odd that merely compiling the kernel with -g would make it 
suddenly not fail.
