I just tried on the third box, so I guess hardware failure is out of the 
picture.

I installed a *fresh* 10.2/i386 with stock GENERIC kernel, no daemons 
running, no ports installed, no fancy configs (just the above mentioned 
lines to get the splash screen).

"make kernel" reboots within minutes.

That's what I meant: the problem must be in splash (or in the kernel 
anyway), not in some other unspecified program.



I'll just try and see if amd64 gives the same trouble and file a bug 
report: I just wish I had some kernel message to include...
