[ I can't help with your actual problem, but I can chase you away from some
  of the wrong trees. ]

In article <p04310101b5ebcc94f2f1@[205.243.213.77]> you write:

Given that the problem occurred before anything other then the kernel (and
the boot blocks) had run, this is unlikely.

No.  Network devices in BSD systems are famous for not having device nodes. 
Devices which don't export a user interface (like the pcmcia drivers) also
don't need device nodes.

In any case, your problem occurred before the root filesystem had been
mounted, so its contents shouldn't have affected what was going on.

I suspect your actual problem is that no-one has tried to use the mhzc
driver on a macppc system before, and that there's some subtle interaction
between the two that needs to be worked out.
