I have an i386 box that runs -current. It has the integrated vr0 on the
motherboard. In had the same messages in /var/log/messages. When I tried
to use the box to supply /usr/src over NFS, the box basically locked up.
I fooled around with NFS parameters on the client, but it didn't fix the
lockups. I ended up sticking in a 3c905 that I had lying around, and the
problems went away.
