an additional datum.
o with hw.bge.allow_asf untouched, i.e. default
o with /boot/device.hints having hint.bge.0.disabled=1
o with /etc/rc.conf having
ifconfig_bge0="198.180.150.1/25 media 1000baseTX"
ifconfig_bge0_alias0="inet 198.180.150.2/32"
etc
o it boots but bge0 carrier is down and can not be brought up
comment out the bge0 entries in /etc/rc.conf, and it boots, carrier is
up, and can be hand configured with the address assignments, and works.
