The GenMac driver loads normally. Then a few more drivers load so quickly
that I can't read them before the trap 8 crash (I think it may be the
PM.EXE that I see last, but I can't be sure).

Done

I don't see anything obvious, but I will try attaching the file,
rmview.txt here and see if anything jumps out at you.

(The attachment bounced and I had to remove it)

I have the Atheros card, and Genmac lists a driver specifically for this
card.
