>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386
>Environment:
Using TB Tropez in MPU401 mode.  This is a hardware emulation of the MPU401 -
requires an OS be downloaded onto the card at bootup.

>Description:
Basically, using the Tropez in MPU401 mode pagefaults the kernel.
One tries to play a midi note, and *boom*, down goes the system.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot DOS.  Run setupsnd.exe and load oswf.mot into the soundcard.
Either c-a-del or run fbsdboot.exe.
playmidi -e <somefile.mid>
*bang* there it goes.

This method (boot dos, configure the card, then boot to OS of choice)
has worked with OS/2 and Linux in the past.

>Fix:
Workaround:  use the really crappy OPL3 on the card.
