I have an install report of a different nature...my machine, an AS200
4/233, refuses to finish booting and dies with a panic.
	Using the 1/14 SNAP from ftp4.freebsd.org, it loads kernel and
MFS root, starts detecting devices, and when it reaches my second ethernet
card (this machine has a built-in Tulip, and another in a PCI slot), it
dies with a "Possible stack overflow" and this panic:

de1: allocated 10baseT port 		<--this line from my memory
Panic:
stopped at Debugger..ng+0x24: ldq ra,0(sp)  <0xfffffc0000861eb0>
<ra=0xfffffc00004654b8,sp=0xfffffc0000861eb0>
db> 

I could take out the card, but this machine acts as a network gateway and
I kind of need two interfaces for that.  Other hardware is pretty much
standard...Avanti, 233MHz, 32MB.

When I saw the "FreeBSD/Alpha booting..." message, I thought, "This is the
coolest thing in the world!"  Any ideas how to make it work?
