It boots without crashing. Unfortunately, clock programming is off somewhere, this default mode, which should look like Opening frame buffer device `/dev/fb0' Using current video mode from `/dev/fb0' mode "640x480-60" # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.942 Hz geometry 640 480 640 480 8 timings 39721 40 24 32 11 96 2 accel true rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0 endmode instead has fh 201.8 kHz fv 0.0 Hz according to my Eizo monitor. So I'll have to compare rivafb and XFree86's nv driver some more. But progress is being made.
