Actually I remembered that on my mega ste, I (very rarely) had 2 bombs
during a boot, sometimes right after nvdi starts, sometimes during n.aes
startup. I'd usually reboot straightaway and forget about it immediately.
Anders hinted me that nvdi 4 might be the problem. In fact, since I
installed nvdi 5, the buserrors have gone, but that might also be because
I now have fastram.
