That's an error.  It means the OSKit or Moab segfaulted in an
unexpected place.  You can convert the hex backtraces to symbolic
backtraces by running the sym-trace script installed by the OSKit over
the kernel (not the bmod).  You'll want to look the script over and
perhaps hack it up a bit for your environment.

Do you have more than four ethernet cards in the machine this fails
on?  There's a bug in the OSKit startup library that would cause
problems, if you do.

It shouldn't be necessary to add OSKit-specific initialization, that
should all be taken care of during Moab's setup phase.
