Well, that appears to have disabled the driver, but the problem  
persists.  Maybe the driver is not the cause, after all?

Note that I now have a Mach64 graphics card installed in a 64-bit  
slot.  I don't think that's having any effect on this problem, but  
I'll try it again without the graphics card when I get a chance.

Another data point:  I am able to boot from the NetBSD 3.1  
installation disk.

Thanks,
Tim
