I have a new Mac Mini and have encountered the same problem reported last year 
by Richard Kuhns.  YongHyeon PYUN provided some patches to the kernel that 
resolved the problem.  However, without an internet connection its a bit tricky 
to get them into the system.  Here is the approach I believe will work, but 
wanted to check first before I really mess things up.

1.  Downloaded from current today via svnweb.freebsd.org:
        sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h
        sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c
        sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c

    I believe the patches are incorporated in today's versions.  The comments 
indicate such.  Thus I don't need to apply the original supplied patch.

2.  Put those on a flash drive.

3.  Install 9.1 release from flash drive onto the Mini disk.  Have to include 
the system source.

4.  Copy the files from 1 above from flash over the files on the disk.

5.  Rebuild the kernel and install it.

Thanks,

-- Doug
