The original NMI is quite common with mpt(4) attaching to an mfi(4)
card.  This was due to some bad code in mpt(4) probe code that has
been corrected.  I think this is why Sean suggested 9.1 which should
have this fixed.  I run into this when I run an unpatched/older
FreeBSD image on newer machines with the new mfi controller.
