I note that the common item between the two is an NE2000 clone, configured as IRQ 9 and port 0x300. >Description: Booting from the kern.flp doesn't succeed if ex0 is enabled. Apparently, the probe hangs in some way, locking up the machine. >How-To-Repeat: Boot from kern.flp... wait for the hang. >Fix: Disabling the probe for ex0 allows the boot to continue. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
