What version of NetBSD are you using?  There are some errata for the 
82547, and changes to work around them were added to -current only 
somewhat recently.

I have never seen the system flat-out power down, but I have seen 
pretty horrible behavior from 82547 Ethernet when the errata 
work-arounds are not in place.  It's a crappy chip, in my opinion.
