I *think* it's due to the fact that I'm not saving/restoring the
SPRG0-3 registers when calling into OpenFirmware. It only shows up when
you boot holding down the 'C' key, but works fine when dropping into
OpenFirmware and manually booting. There's a similar problem on the B&W
G3 when booting from the ATA drive.
The panic message is related to memory corruption that occurrs - a
mutex is getting zeroed.
later,
Peter.
