Hi folks,

the nfe driver of FreeBSD 4.3 does some kind of up-down pingpong at boot time.
DHCP is stuck in an endless loop. No login, unless I disconnect the ethernet
cable . See the attached snapshot.

Hardware is MCP79. (Booting without ACPI fails; the kernel panics very early at
boot time with "panic: running without device atpic requires a local APIC".)


Every helpful comment is highly appreciated. Regards
Harri
