I think this may relate to my IIsi and its DayStar 040. I have a running
system without the DayStar, but with it it hangs after enabling the MMU.
Scott Reynolds made some changes for Generic 18 (I think) to get the
physical address ranges. The changes made seem to work OK, at least the
found ranges make sense, and are similar to those found with the 030
running, but I still get a hang when the MMU is enabled. I soon as I get
an ISP I can SUP through, I'll probably have another go at the problem.

Yes, I think we all find time is a very limited resource...
