 .Sh BUGS
 The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
 .Pp
 The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands
 very gracefully.
 .Pp
-Fabric Support (for FibreChannel) is not supported yet.
+Fabric (public loop) support isn't very well debugged yet.
+.Pp
+Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel
+f/w to tell it that the loop port database is ready. In this case you'll
+see an announcement that the loop state has a value of 0x1. To unwedge
+the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel connection, or otherwise
+cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence)- this will kick the f/w
+into getting unstuck.
