I have never succeeded in getting the bge NIC on the Tyan K8W to work 
with more than 4GB of RAM in 5-stable (5.2.1 worked OK).  The system 
seems fine booting single-user with 8 GB of RAM using the twa disk 
driver, but the system locks up as soon as I do "sh /etc/netstart", at 
the point that the bge driver should print that the Ethernet link is 
established.
