I built and installed world and kernel on tuesday (4 days ago). I am running -stable on a 4010cdt toshiba satellite. I have 2 PCCards: the Noteworthy 56k modem that comes with the machine, and a Kingston ethernet card. I do this: shutdown now and then exit My modem is on sio1 and my ethernet on ed0. As multi-user mode is starting, whichever card is in the system is bumped to the next higher device number, according to the kernel (bold print) message (sio1->sio2, ed0->ed1). In either case, the machine hangs after printing this line. These messages do not appear in any log because the machine locks while writing them. If I removed the cards, start multi-user mode, then re-insert them, everything works fine. I will happily provide any other info requested.
