(I replied to you in private but this one if for the mailing-list)

Edit /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/if-vr.c and change the reset function
for this one :

static void
vr_reset(sc)
	struct vr_softc *sc;
{
	int i;

	VR_SETBIT16(sc, VR_COMMAND, VR_CMD_RESET);

	for (i = 0; i < VR_TIMEOUT; i++) {
		DELAY(10);
		if (!(CSR_READ_2(sc, VR_COMMAND) & VR_CMD_RESET))
			break;
	}
	if (i == VR_TIMEOUT) {
		printf("%s: reset never completed!\n",
			sc->vr_dev.dv_xname);
		printf("%s: trying force reset.\n",
			sc->vr_dev.dv_xname);
		VR_SETBIT16(sc, VR_MISC, VR_FORCE_RESET);
	}

	/* Wait a little while for the chip to get its brains in order. */
	DELAY(1000);
}

Add the following two defines to if_vrreg.h so this works :

#define VR_MISC                 0x81
#define VR_FORCE_RESET          0x40

I posted a blurb like this over port-i386@netbsd.org a few days ago.

This seems to have fixed the problem but only one person confirmed.
If more people can confirm we could post a pr about it.
