--- Comment #8 from Andrew Daugherity <andrew.daugherity at gmail.com> ---
I've done most of my testing with the FreeBSD memdisk install images, both with
release kernels and test kernels copied onto the USB key.  After choosing "Live
CD" and logging in, no network is configured until I run 'dhclient bge0' or
'ifconfig bge0 inet a.b.c.d/NN up'.

Some kernels on the PE850 reported the media speed even before bringing up the
interface and others didn't, but that's not the issue here, since it fails when
the driver loads, before any configuration happens.

Just to be sure this issue is on attach vs. network configuration, I built a
test 9-stable (unmodified r296050) kernel with GENERIC + 'nodevice bge' and
tested it with PXE disabled.  IPMI continues to work after this kernel is
booted and I log in to the live CD environment, but as soon as I 'kldload
if_bge' it breaks.
