Yeah, I noticed this same thing.  When I tried 

	options 	MAXMEM="256*1024"

I got the same thing.  I kept tring to reduce it; I cant remember what I 
was able to get it down to, but when it did finally boot the machine 
would lockup after awhile.

I than kept tring to reduce it and it finally stabilized at 

	options		MAXMEM="128*1024"

I have not had the time to determine where the problem lies.  Anybody 
else have any comments?  Currently my system is a Pentium Pro 150Mhz with 
an adaptec 3940UW PCI scsi controller with a 9Gig drive.  Now that the 
system is stable it smokes.

Good luck,

Allen
