There's apparently some variance in the traceback -- sometimes several
interfaces get set up, sometimes they don't, but I think it's all the same
issue; it's at least got the same synopsys: smp rendezvous held too long
during network configuration. (Or, in that one rare case, later during pf
initialization.)

Your hardware sounds pretty close to the hardware I'm running here... except
I've got 16GB and a mvs SATA card with a few disks hanging off of it.

Indeed; this machine has been useless for days while I have been apparently
futilely bisecting.  To make sure I wasn't crazy, I went and rebuilt the
head of stable/10 and there every boot to multiuser attempted thus far has
panic()d.

I'm giving up out of frustration, sorry; going to use the current install to
build 9-STABLE and jump ship.  If that still explodes, I'll try coming up
=66rom media for 9-RELEASE and will certainly let people know, because at t=
hat
point something very strange is going on.

Cheers and sorry to abandon the quest,
