While the generic kernel boots, although seems to work VERY slow
(on P60) -- going to the next line in vi may take a second,
new kernel just hangs, after printing the symbols-entry point line.

I configured it at first stripping off the LINT. Then, I stripped
the GENERIC, thinking, that LINT may have something dangerous...
I tried compiling with -O (default) and -O2 optimization... Appa-
rently, I have some IRQ conflicts (as slowness of the GENERIC
kernel suggests), but kernel.GENERIC works! I'll try to make
it with the internal sanity checking in the mean time, and hope.

The machine is NEC's Pentimum 60. With ISA and PCI buses, connected
thru the bridge, as the kernel.GENERIC reports. Network
card is smth new from 3Com, which is seen by GENERIC as ep0 device,
and by Windows NT as ... PCMCIA (zp-device in FreeBSD).

I also have the adaptec board in it, with CD-ROM and sound blaster
(6320)... All that mess currently works under NT 3.5, although we had
a bunch of problems installing it (until some jumper was set on the
Adaptec board). There is also a Sportster modem, which NT sees on COM1,
but FreeBSD does not find a thing on sio0.

Thanks for any ideas!
