    Your CPU threw an exception, it met an instruction, or situation, it didn't
recognize or like.. but, it appears ok.

   I am jealous, as the 5300 of which I spoke, (not 5003 as posted)
can't make it. I think that is because these kernels are being compiled on
newer CPU's than we (at least I) expect.

  Mine made it past bootstrap, aboot, and into the kernel for about 4 lines,
or so, and wham...

PC=14100

   I can dump the rest.... but, it would be tedious, and by
hand...

  I am guessing at this stage that makes me a MILO install, or
perhaps not at all, at least off these binaries.
