That should have been 4.1.3...

After some comments about ethercards, I replace the old WD 8013 with an
SMC Ultra but this didn't help.
Mike subsequently suggested removing the rsize=1024. I added this on
request from someone using 2.1.x machines who found amd didn't work
without it. I tried removing it and amd is now happy on my 2.2.1 machine!
Now I need to find whether the other chap really needs it...

Yup - that did the trick too!
I'm now once more a happy FreeBSD'er!
Thanks to all who have helped.
