I have had a similar experience with a Quadra 660av.  I have not as yet
had time to swap my asante ethernet card back into my IIci to verify
that the board hasn't gone bad, but I have had my machine stop just 
after the enet card identification.  I have also not as yet had an 
oportunity to examin etht source so as to find the precise location of
stoppage, but I have a feeling that it is going to be related to
turning on nubus interrupts.
