My problem doesn't match the description of "screen continually
scrolls registers or dumps registers then reboots"; it just freezes.

While looking at the code for btx/btxldr I did notice a debug knob in
the Makefile; should I turn this on? (And do I have to rebuild all of
world to encourage it to update BTX? Presumably I can build/install a
subset of it to save time?)

No, my procedure was: make buildkernel buildworld, make installkernel,
reboot (to single user), mergemaster -p, make installworld,
mergemaster (installed everything but passwd/group), reboot. This is
the point where it broke :)

Thanks,
