I'm receiving a "kernel panic" "Trap 9", then the system reboots in 15
seconds (pause and scroll lock don't do anything to give time to write
down the full message - would be a good feature)

This happens when I boot from the 2.2.5 Release boot floppy.

The floppy boots fine on other computers without a kernel panic, so it's
not due to a bad image.
Using -c at the boot: prompt didn't work as suggested in the web
documentation, it simply locked up without ever getting to the
configuration menu, giving the same kernel panic.

The 2.1.7.1 Release boots without a kernel panic.

I wish I could give you more information so you could find the exact
nature of the problem, as it's somewhat hardware specific, but also
kernel specific.  If a pause/scroll-lock feature could be built into the
boot sequence or without the 15 second reboot, that would help.
