There's clearly something I just don't get about FreeBSD kernel
configuration here, and I can't seem to find any reference to it.  my
config file has the following ISA network interfaces commented out:

# Order is important here due to intrusive probes, do *not* alphabetize
# this list of network interfaces until the probes have been fixed.
# Right now it appears that the ie0 must be probed before ep0. See
# revision 1.20 of this file.

# device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
# device ie0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd0000
# device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10

<snip>

yet /var/log/messages show some kind of probe attempt:

Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: config> di ex0
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: No such device: ex0
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: config> di ep0
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: No such device: ep0
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: config> di ed0
Sep  3 15:27:32 edward /kernel: No such device: ed0

<snip a list of same devices in different order>

I'm trying to isolate a problem that happens during soft reboots and was
wondering if this could have anything to do with it...
