Problem: After updating to OpenBSD 3.9 stable, my system locks up
whenever a dc interface is brought "up". This system has 5 network
interfaces, one on-board (vr0), and a Phobos P430 Quad NIC
(dc0,dc1,dc2,dc3). The vr0 interface works fine.
At first, I could not get the system to finish booting up. It would hang
at "starting network". I then removed the files:
/etc/hostname.dc0
/etc/hostname.dc1
/etc/hostname.dc2
/etc/hostname.dc3
and the system boots up. However, when I do either:
# ifconfig dc0 up
# ifconfig dc1 up
# ifconfig dc2 up
# ifconfig dc3 up
The system locks up.
Here is the dmesg:
OpenBSD 3.9-stable (GENERIC) #1: Sun Sep 3 11:32:26 PDT 2006

I have the same problem with this board:
cpu0: VIA Esther processor 1500MHz ("CentaurHauls" 686-class) 1.50 GHz
cpu0:
FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,TM,SBF,SSE3,EST,TM2
The problem is not dc(4) specific, it seems the board can't handle pci
bridges, so far I tested dual nics: fxp, tl, sf, none of them seems to
work, they all lock up the box as soon as I up more than one of the
interfaces.
