 (a) The system is a clean install from the ISO image, GENERIC kernel  
 etc. straight off the CD.
 
 Here's the boot message:
 
 Sun Enterprise 420R (2 X UltraSPARC-II 450MHz), No Keyboard
 OpenBoot 3.23, 4096 MB memory installed, Serial #15737032.
 Ethernet address 8:0:20:f0:20:c8, Host ID: 80f020c8.
 
 (b) I just tried a couple of other modules (sound, fdc) and they  
 cause the same panic.  doh!
 
 so my labelling this as a IPFW problem wasn't quite right.
 
 I'll try a new kernel build.
 
 Thanks for your help.
