My R40 located both cbb0 and an0 at 0xc0400000.  Warner tracked down the
problem while I was at BSDCon and found an open address range where cbb0
could be relocated.  I've now got the following magic incantation in my
/boot/loader.conf:
	hw.cbb.start_memory=0xC0800000
	
Look at what address ranges have been allocated and find an open spot.
You can type in the above command at the loader prompt for testing
purposes.
