I should have added the following information:

        - The system in question is running V3.2

        - The system has the standard hardware, 32Mb memory, DE422 EISA
        ethernet, QVision SVGA, Adaptec EISA SCSI. Nothing unusual.

        - No crash messages of any sort appear - it just starts the boot
        process over.

I swapped the ethernet (DE422) controller for another one, with no effect. I
_did_ notice after updating the firmware (figure its down, update the OS if
possible), that it complained of a "stray interrupt" with a value of 0x6,
which shouldn't happen. Other times, it would halt, with a message saying
something like:

        XXX INVALID addresses...

Right now, I've swapped the whole unit out, using only the original hard
drive, and it seems to be working.
