I had a very bad experience with an Abit motherboard last year. I don't recall the exact number but I think it was a K?7-???? . It took an AMD processor. The board has field-upgradable firmware. When FreeBSD 4.6 (4.7?) came up on it, it saw three NICs, one of them an old AT&T StarLan. When it tried to initialize what it thought were NICs, it wiped out the firmware. This happened on two boards; fortunately my vendor was very understanding and gave me a discount on a new motherboard/ processor configuration (a Gigabyte with a P4). I did file a trouble report on it; if you search the FreeBSD trouble reports for my name (as the author/originator) you should be able to find it.
