Yet I am confused by the role of actually writing to BCE_EMAC_MODE in order to keep the iDRAC link up, and wether the issue would not come from another part of the change.

It still does not work :(

I tried to additionally comment lines as in:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2011-September/029915.html
but without success.

Unfortunately, adding log messages is only an option if the boot succeeds to be able to dmesg later on.
