 I ran r263470 for a week or so, with quite a few reboots (7, it appears).
Never tried more than once to boot successfully.  Next, I'm going to confirm
I still get crashes with a fresh build of r263478.  But, there's only about 1000
lines of diff between those two revisions, much of it changes to routing and
related networking code.  So, could certainly be it.

 Anyone with good sparc64 knowledge feel free to take a look, and I'll report
back if/when I get a r263478 to prove itself unworthy again.  :-)

ps, 
 I've put a log of boots and panics in my months of experimentation up at:
http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=mXHTXfDx 

 It's greps across the two console output log files I've been running that
machine under in the last many months, or at least the last relevant lines
of said grep command.
