Thanks for testing those, if one of them had booted it would point us in the direction of a commit that broke things. > >Did bsd.rd work?

Next suggestion is to boot -current (without hostname.bge0) and get a dmesg that you can copy into an email (either transferring it via USB stick or another NIC if you have one - USB NICs are often handy for this) so we can see what the hardware is. I think the NIC you mentioned as being "Broadcom 762" is actually BCM5762 but the dmesg would give more accurate information about this.
