>Description:
If you set network_interfaces in rc.conf to a nonexistent interface, the initialization code loops infinitely, posting an error message to the console.
boot is stalled and you have to restart in single-user mode, mount the fs r/w and fix the definition to go anywhere.
>How-To-Repeat:
edit rc.conf. add the line:
network_interfaces="bfe0,ndis0"
