This is the behaviour I saw last Friday when I upgraded my -current machine to 0412-SNAP:( He might be able to boot if he disables all devices that can conflict with the 3c509 (boot: -c and disable everything at address 0x300). If you recall I reported that wt0 and mcd0 found the 3c509. -- Steven G.
