NFS problems with bge driver

I recently installed 3Com Gigabit NIC's using the bge driver in 5 Dell 
1550's running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (cvsup'ed and built as of weds this 
past week). Each one of the exhibits the same behavior, the following 
error messages come up on boot, it seems that the bge driver is coming 
up after the NFS mounts begin. Once I get a login prompt and look the 
filesystems are unmounted, a 'mount -a' successfully mounts everything 
so it's just during the boot process that it fails. Error messages are 
below, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My other hosts are Dell 1650's using embedded Intel gigabit NIC's which 
don't seem to have the same problem.

Thanks,
Paul
