As you said, you removed "device ether", which for no good reason is
required by "options INET".  See the recent thread on hackers@ for more:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=97462+0+current/freebsd-hackers

This shouldn't be the case, (you may want ppp support for internet dial-up
without ethernet support, or you may want ethernet without IP), but for
now, either replace "device ether" or remove the following if you don't
need any networking at all:

options INET
options INET6
device sl
device ppp
device tun
device gif

I'd be interested to hear what anyone else thinks about these
dependencies.

Depends on what you mean by unstable, but it's been pretty stable for me.
Did your 4.x kernel run without device ether but with INET?
