OK, but I can't figure out how to get -current.  I tried the miniinst CD
5-20040324-CURRENT-amd64-miniinst.iso, and it drops into debug mode.  This
is an MSI K8T NEO, a single processor 2800+.  The debug message is:

 Stopped at softdep_disk_prewrite+0x44: testb $0x10,0xdb(%ecx)

I wiped the disk just to make sure it wasn't something to do with having a
file system on there, but I get the same error.  All the 0324 disks blow
up with the same error.
