The exception is a "TRAP: 0600" which is an alignment interrupt.
the trap occurred at NIP: C000000000085874
Get an objdump of your kernel, (or drop into xmon/kdb and use the
disassembler commands) and see what instruction lives at that NIP
address, and which registers it is referencing. (Then its a matter of
finding out why the registers have bad data in them).
(You probally have already done this, but if not... ) If you're booting
off of tape in this instance, may want to try booting off of disk, and
doing some tape operations after successful boot, to ensure the driver
is all OK.
