I forgot to point out that I am not running current but
FreeBSD topaz 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #13: Sun Feb 26 
20:58:16 PST 2006

It also occurs on RELENG_5 but that machine is my gateway and firewall.

It may be trying to confuse me but I have to use the NIC in XP before it 
will panic on the FreeBSD boot. My sacrificial machine only runs 
6-stable and it is much harder to make panic.

I have 3 280+KB images of the panic and traceback. They are
http://owt-207-41-94-232.owt.com/panic-0.jpg	panic
http://owt-207-41-94-232.owt.com/panic-1.jpg	1st page of trace
http://owt-207-41-94-232.owt.com/panic-2.jpg	2nd page of trace

This is a 128Kb DSL line on the upload so it won't be fast. Even 
cropped, the originals were 10MB+. So, they have been made more lossy 
for size.
