I found the solution to this in my case and just wanted to write to this list so it was added to the archive. My ethernet card and modem were configured to use IRQ5 via jumpers/software. I wanted to use both without removing the cover and was in a hurry initially so I left both cards in the computer figuring that if I just run 'boot: -cv' and disable whatever I wasn't using (disable sio2 if I wanted to use ed0 or vice-versa) and everything would work as long as I rebooted. So with only sio0 enabled for my mouse, and ed0 enabled I figured that I'd have no problem even if my modem card rested in the slot with sio2 disabled...WRONG! Somehow...someway ed0 got confused even if the kernel 'wasn't supposed to'. Go figure. Hopefully, this will save some other poor soul...
