After plugging in the static IP information for nfe0, the system would lock up immediately once I chose to bring up the interface, nfe0. After a reboot, I manually added the nve0 info into rc.conf and once again it would lock up once it seem to initialize the Ethernet device. Once I commented out the "ifconfig_nve0" line from rc.conf the system would boot fine. I have tried both static and DHCP and both cause the system to lock up. I eventually found that I can manually run the "ifconfig nfe0 inet 192.68.0.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" command after the system boots and it will not lock up. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Add nfe device information through the initial install and bring the interface up. 2. Run sysinstall after your installation and bring the interface up. 3. Manually add nfe device information into the rc.conf file and reboot. >Fix: Do not enter the "ifconfig_nfe0..." line into your rc.conf and enter command manually after systme boots up. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
