I figured it out! I was too aggressive in editing unused entries out
of /boot/device.hints. I removed:

    hint.sc.0.at="isa"
    hint.sc.0.flags="0x100"

so, I added them back and now it is just fine.

Thank you and sorry for the false alarm - just not quite enough
troubleshooting before asking for help.

Thanks,
Dave
