Thanks for the reply, Scott.
Results: still broken with the color kernel.
I grabbed the color kernel. I get the same
slot_noint() slot e reports if the NIC card is in a lower
slot.
If I swap the two cards:
macvid0 at nubus0: Radius FPD
Possible modes: 0x80
SM: Unknown Slot manager routine 0x2f
unknown OS trap 0xa08d, no trap address available
panic: mrg_aline_super()
Stopped at _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6
So, looks like I need a new video card.
Thanks for the help!
