I also get this lock up on a machine with a ISA NE2000 clone:

ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 9 on isa
ed0: address 00:40:33:23:6b:c1, type NE2000 (16 bit) 

I have every other NIC driver removed, but a -CURRENT kernel with ed0
enabled on it will cause it to lock hard.  Disabling the device in the
kernel config will let me boot.
