Maybe i'll give ACPI another try, and make a stab at debugging that
part.  The crash always happens at the same location, and the faulting
address is always 0xdeadc0de (i. e. accessing uninitialized memory),
so i think it should be possible to find the bug.

Ah, that's the trick!  Thanks for this.  Btw., for an easier to
remember number, it's 0x20000000. ;-)

Yep, now it at least finds the cards.  I have yet to find what to put
into /etc/devd* in order to get my Ethernet (PCMCIA) card to work with
it...  Ah, i see a template in /usr/src/sbin/devd, it's only not yet
installed in my /etc.  Though after looking at it, shouldn't i at
least be able to see the card appear in "ifconfig -a" first?  It's not
yet there, although the xe driver is in the GENERIC kernel (so no
module should be required).
