Thanks to:

berc_at_pa.dec.com (Lance ?)

Who indicated that this was a memory sizing problem. (actually, the
exact same error occurs when the memory boards are pulled completely.)

I'd already reseated the memory trees, however, swapping out trees from
another 3000/400 and subsequently swapping SIMMs on a failing tree indicated
a failed tree board (MMB - Memory Mother Board)

Now i just have to remember/find the info on upgrading the firmware to
Rev X, replacing the PAL, then continuing the firwmare update, argh.

thanks,
