3.4 broken on a IIci too...

Hello,

I fear OpenBSD 3.4 is total breakage on 3.4 and users should be warned
against using it on the OpenBSD page, at least on the two macs I tested.
I don't know if it runs on others, somebody reports?. It is really a
pity.

Since I had scarce success with my IIsi, I decided to scrap NetBSD on my
IIci (I wanted to update it anyway and had backed-up my data).
The IIci is usually a wonderfully supported computer. But I get the same
error as on the IIsi: the kernel stops after the first lines of sizing
the ram and the internal video addresses.
Alas I thought, this is internal video crap. Let's try with my SuperMac
Spectrum/8 and siable RBV. The music changes, but it still bangs.
It sizes the ram and when it should size video it correctly reports "no
internal video at address 0 --- videoaddr is 0xfcc00400"
but immediatly after it says

Kernel FPU trap.
trap type 16, code = 0x0, v = 0x0

and then it drops into ddb. Unfortunately I have too little low-level
knwoledge to understand this trap, other than knowing I have an FPU
installed, so there is realy something faulty here.

If there is someone alive here, I'd be happy to try to collaborate and
test results on my different computers. But I cannot start hacking on
the kernel just so without knowledge and it seems this is a graveyard,
not a mailinglist.
