Disable the ie0 driver entirely by booting /kernel -c.

Then once you are up, rebuild a kernel without the ie0 driver.

The particular cards serviced by the ie0 driver have a habit of not
being detectable except through a destructive probe.  Said probe
could be causing your card to be reprogrammed.

If it isn't the ie0 driver, make sure you disable all other unused
drivers and try again.  This should surely fix the problem.

Then once you are up, rebuild a kernel without any drivers for hardware
not in your machine.
