You need to be careful here.
Some VLB boards don't follow specs properly and tell you they are capable
of 33mhz when they are not.

I had a similar problem to yours when I tried to increase the bus speed.

I started getting kernel panics and the like whenever I accessed the
floppy drive. When I reduced the bus speed back to normal the problem went
away.

Check you motherboard manual to see if you have the bus speed setup
correctly.
