I have a JavaStation 1 (OpenBoot 2.3.0) with 32 Mb RAM running NetBSD
1.5.2. I have made a 256Mb swap file for it. It is booting of a Celeron
300 Slackware 8 server with 128MB ram and plenty hard disk space

Whenever I try to compile perl, something happens to cause the machine
to have a kernel panic and reboot. I have tried everything, from letting
the package system make it, to trying to make it myself. I cannot figure
out what the problem is

panic: init died (signal 4, exit 0)

This is followed by a stack trace. Bear in mind that I am using the
GENERIC kernel.

If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful :)
