>Originator:     Thomas David Rivers
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Dignus,LLC
>Environment:

	Two machines, a 486dx-66 circa 1995 and a newer pentium have
	experienced this problem.  I note that the common item between
	the two is an NE2000 clone, configured as IRQ 9 and port 0x300.

>Description:

	Booting from the kern.flp doesn't succeed if ex0 is enabled.
	Apparently, the probe hangs in some way, locking up the machine.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Boot from kern.flp... wait for the hang.

>Fix:

	Disabling the probe for ex0 allows the boot to continue.
