Hey, Thanks for the tip. I'd read the handbook before posting to -questions, but it doesn't really containg any meaningful troubleshooting information. I mean, the big problem is that pcm0 isn't getting bound to sbc on bootup...which isn't really covered in the handbook. I am thinking that either the card is bad or maybe the motherboard is fubar.
