This problem happened to me yesterday too when I was checking out new     
board from CSA.  It crashed because I had no 32-bit memory installed but
the AddRAM (wrongly) tried to add memory in anyway --- resulting in a
system crash ... I guess there is a bug in that AddRAM routine (it should
not have attempted to add memory that doesn't exist)...
