Both 200006*-snapshots seems to panic when entering multi-user mode.
That is _after_ /etc/rc has finished, but before getty start.
(Running getty manually seems to work. Running /etc/rc manually from
singleuser sh is no problem.)
Entering singleuser tru boot -s works fine. Entering singleuser by
failing /etc/rc results in panic. Entering multi-user after
successfully running /etc/rc results in panic. It must be caused by
something init do _after_ running /etc/rc, i think. I'm looking at
init.c, but I don't know whether I'm on the right track at all.
This is on the Javastation. My SparcStation-LX works fine in the exact
same environment. (same NFS-root.)
