Like I said in my first answer, the device is detected with these lines.
Only if I enable the device it can not boot.
If I boot with the inserted em0 interface and the change in the rc.conf
file the em0 into bge0 and do a /etc/netstart, the systems hangs, only a
power cycle can reclaim the server.
I have installed FreeBSD 9.0Current on the machine and here it works
fine
I saw a commit from Bjoern A. Zeeb which describe the hang, but do not
know if this can be reverted back to 8.x before the release.
svn commit: r198049 - head/sys/dev/bge Bjoern A. Zeeb
regards, and thank you for your time.
cc'ed stas@ and bz@ ( hope they do not mind, if so I am sorry)
