Also, just to see what the behavior is like, try rebooting the box while connected via remote KVM/SOL and if you have the gear to do so, try being connected via serial in parallel. Broadcoms have had issues in the past (personal experience) with ipmi on older versions of FreeBSD (well, ok.. bce, not bge) because of the song and dance done when initializing the BMC/NIC at boot where if you're connected via ipmitool/the remote KVM software while booting, it might kick you out (which is ok depending on the phase of the moon), but not let you back in (this is a problem if this didn't occur before). A similar issue with the NIC song and dance exists with Supermicros and the shared em(4)/igb(4) port and on pre-8.x there were bugs that prevent you from accessing the BMC after boot (but that was another driver interaction probably on the system). Thanks! -Garrett PS I'll give the patch a shot on my Lenovo workstation running 9-STABLE when I get a chance.
