Ok,

I'll try to get that done tomorrow.  Will take some time to setup remote
syslog, boot, break it, turn off, dump the image, reboot, and dump the
broken image.  Each image will probably be around 10MB compressed.  David, I
can put the files on an FTP server and give you the link if you will have
time to take a peek at them

Let me know what you want me to do.
