Bridge Interface Members

Trying to configure a bridge interface with two member interfaces,
fxp0 and re0. Configuring the interface from scratch manually works
fine but when I add config entries to rc.conf the two member
interfaces aren't added at boot. Bridge0 is created it just doesn't
have any members. From the serial console I can manually add the two
member interfaces and everything is fine but obviously I'd like it to
work without manual intervention. Any ideas?
Here's my rc.conf entries:
cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm fxp0 addm re0"
ifconfig_fxp0="up"
ifconfig_re0="up"
ifconfig_bridge0="inet 10.0.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up"
Any ideas?
Troubleshooting is bit of a pain as I'm booting zfs root from a USB
stick and there's a 5 minute (yes, 5 minutes!) delay at the BTX loader
before the boot loader menu is displayed. I haven't figured out
what's causing that but it makes tweaking and rebooting a slow
process!
