[nsp] NM-1FE-TX (3600)

[Craig Spiers]

Nah, nothing like that.. It was like a kernel panic.., much more serious
than the IOMEM situation..

You might be on the right track though, I might try it with smart-init
enabled..

No clue how much you actually need for 4 FE.  Doesn't it give you a reason
why it's rebooting?  If it's the IOMEM issue, it says something like "not
enough IOMEM" and reboots.
