Hello, Freebsd-embedded.

 I'm  upgrading  my  net5501-70  from 7.1-STABLE ("simple install") to
 NanoBSD 8.1-STABLE and have some problems:

 (1)  "stray  irq7"  messages. Google shows such problems for very old
 systems  with  LPT  ports, but not for 8.x and soekris, which doesn't
 have LPT. dmesg.boot doesn't show any devices (known or unknown) with
 irq 7.

 (2)  DHCP  on  vr1  doesn't  work. I have "ifconfig_vr1="DHCP"" in my
 /etc/rc.conf  and  it works for 7.1 install, but on 8.1 I can not see
 any evidenced of DHCP client :(

 (3)   Firewall  script  works  strange:  it  is  configured  to  file
 "/etc/firewall"  and  this  file  is  present  in image, but it loads
 "loopback" and "mandatory" parts foe /etc/rc.firewall and complains:

 Line 48: vr1: cannot get interface address

  What does I do wrong?
