malo causes sig 12 error and panic on Freebsd 7.2-PRERELEASE (7-STABLE)

[John]

Hi list

I configured the malo device as per the manpage. Now I'm getting panic
after the device is probed as per
http://www.growveg.org/desktop/DSC_6973-3008.jpg

Is there a parameter I can pass to boot that will ignore this
driver/module? I have tried disable-module to no avail. Is the only
option to use the rescue disk? I need loader.conf to be ignored now in
order to get the system up at all.

Is malo known to work under 7-STABLE? I notice the man page says it
first appeared under FreeBSD 8.0.

thanks
