It's not on the FAQ list either. It's for a 21" grayscale apple monitor.
I can run it in 1 or 2 bit mode.
Strange thing is this problem appears to be
video non-related, as it crashes at the same place when I boot from a 
serial console.

Not sure, I'll check when I get home.

I haven't tried switching the position, but I have tried taking the ethernet
card out of the machine altogether... That  ought to have fixed any conflicts,
but,  Still the same crash.

the anoying thing is I've got it to boot about 6 times in 60 ish atempts,
and I can't find any connection between the tinmes I managed to get it
to boot, and the times I don't.

Re instaling from scratch was my favourite passtime last week, and I've tried
several other generic kernals (#9, #16, #21, #22 etc...) but they 
don't seem to fix the problem. Sometimes they start, more often they don't, 
and they all hang at the same line.

If I do get it to boot, do shutdown -h now, restart the computer, and 
launch straight into bsd, I won't boot this time round.

Am I just unlucky?

	Thanks for the reply though, It's good to know you're not alone on
the planet!
