Error message is now:
txp0: <3Com 3cR990B-TXM Etherlink with 3XP Processor> port 0xbc00-0xbc7f 
mem 0xfdcff000-0xfdcff07f irq 18 at device 6.0 on pci3
txp0: txp_download_fw: not waiting for boot, status = 0x00008008
device_attach: txp0 attach returned -1

I'm going to try the updated firmware you mentioned in the followup 
message.  I'll let you know how it goes.
