Actually I remembered wrong.

The jp snapshot gave this:
	block 0 of dka100.1.0.2000.0 is not a valid boot block

Whereas 5.2.1 gave this:

	cia0: extended capabilities: 21<DWEN,BWEN>
	pcib0: <2117x PCI host bus adapter> on cia0
	pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
	eisab0: <PCI-EISA bridge> at device 7.0 on pci0

	halted CPU 0

	halt code = 7
	machine check while in PAL mode
	PC = 18100           
	>>>
