Ok, here's a first question to throw out.  I'm (trying) to run a NetBSD
kernel on a MIPS R3000 based simulator.  At a certain point, it seems that
the kernel jumps to a particular memory location and then just loops
infinitely.  Examining the simulator PC and the kernel's assembly code, it
appears to be repeatedly executing this particular line of code:

80118388:       080460e2        j       80118388 <prom_halt+0x8c>

So my question is: what is it doing?  Is it waiting for an interrupt?
