I changed the max users and continue to have the lockups, just
as frequently.  I also gutted the unused device drivers.  Still
know lock.

One thing I did notice was on my linux system, which uses the
same motherboard, its bootup sequence prints out a message regarding
a lockup bug in the ethernet card, bypass applied.

Since they both use the fxp0, ether100, I am wondering if that
has anything to do with it.  I have seen a few other complaints
but nobody claiming a bug.  Anybody know anything about this?
