Jordan,

I think his problem is related to probing problems with the ep0 driver (3c509).
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.
