This system had 3 NICs in it- xl0, ed0, dc0. I removed the one using xl0- that's a 3Com 3C905-TX. The NIC was never used, as I had planned on it being used for a project that never got off the ground. Now I have another use for it and wanted to get it out of there. When I restart after removing the NIC, everything seems to go OK, except that the console hangs on the line: Local package initilization: apache mysqld rc.conf does not try to initialize that NIC or set any interface parameters on it. And just sits there. The XFree86 desktop comes up, but won't accept keyboard input, and I can't switch to a text-mode console. The only way to access the machine is via ssh, which, ironically enough, works dandy. Doing a top in my ssh session showed that X was eating about 98% of the CPU, so I killed it. So, right now I'm rebuilding my kernel without the xl0 driver, but I wondered if I did anything else wrong, and if so, how do I correct this? Thanks for any pointers and/or help.
