I remember having this problem a few years ago on an openbsd box with 2 
nics.  At that time, I found a mailing list post outlining a process 
where you'd enter a break sequence to get  to a command prompt before 
booting and enter some command there , I believe to disable acpi, and 
that would help.  its been like 3-4 years so i dont remember the details.
