Sunfire V100 running OpenBSD 3.7 Sparc64 freshly installed off via the official CD, is reporting "dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state". Is this just cosmetic, or an actual problem?
Looking at the source code for the dc drive, this seems to be related to setting speed and duplex (I lock the interfaces to 100/full). I have an identical machine running 3.6, does not show this message, only the machines upgraded to 3.7 give this warning.
