Exactly the same problem here. Also "panic: syscall", also 386BSD 0.1.pl58.

The kernel prints out the devices as they are probed/attached(?), but dies
after that with a "panic: syscall", before /etc/rc output starts.
The only occurance of panic("syscall") that I've found is in
/sys/i386/i386/trap.c, at the start of syscall(). Since I don't know anything
about the stuff done in trap.c, I'm stuck.
