Yes, but no one who can do anything about it appears to have read
my error report.  It appears to be related to the new interrupt
code John Baldwin introduced loosing interrupts from the HDD
controler.  The most recent kernel I can boot is from source dated
midnight 2003-10-21 GMT.  Perhaps a couple of days later but compiling
kernel after kernel on a P-133 is a little tedious.  Here's the
last bit of my boot message:
