fxp0: device timeout | SCB already complete (me too)

[Palle Girgensohn]

Hi Shaun,

Thanks for the input! Glad to hear I'm not the only one

In my case, both the SCSI and NIC are integrated on the motherboard, so I 
cannot really move them around... :)

Also, as I mentioned, I tried a de0 (PCI card, not onboard, and it 
literally stopped the machine). Is the de0 driver also a problem?
