I made some random changes to the kernel based on Brad's patches to 1.0 and
the current sources.

In via.c in nubus_intr(), Brad had logic to ignore nubus interrupts that
were pointing at slot_noint().  On my SE/30, slotitab[i] is called the
first time when i = 0 and 5.  Adding the "ignore" logic in similar places
in the current code, it successfully boots.

During the boot process, ae0 displays a timeout message.  I placed a debug
printf() in ae_intr and it is getting called once for unit 0.

The ethernet interface doesn't work after it finishes booting.

In case you don't have it, Brad's code was:
