we've had a terrible time with the different 2x040 boards lately. seems
that nobody follows DECs rules on how to design with this chip. The latest
linux drivers from cesdis work with all the different types we have,
however. You could learn from them and get the knowledge into the freebsd
driver. The differences all seem to revolve around initialization issues.
