An NCR53c875 SCSI controller and a 3c900 Ethernet card. Both of those
drivers are loaded as modules, though.

No, it appears to reboot immediately after uncompressing, unless the
display is just being cleared too quickly for me to see any other
messages...the last message I see is 'Now booting the kernel', then a
flicker as it resets. This is where I'd normally expect it to initialize
the display, but I can't think of why that would reset it...
