1) Please limit the length of your lines
2) This shouldn't have been posted to freebsd-current, which is for
(strangely). FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT. Please direct your query to
freebsd-stable@freebsd.org after posting much more debugging information
(e.g. the output of dmesg(1) at a minimum). I'm not able to help you, but
one of the guys there might.
Thanks,
Kris
