It has all sorts of problems: neither the bios nor the disklabel
nor the kernel can handle variable length tracks

If this is the board I think it is, it's a Supermicro P6DLE dual Slot-1
motherboard with an integrated Intel 82559 (no external PHY).
(I had this board for some time before I gave it to David, it was
originally donated to FTL by Bob Willcox.)

What with FPGA technology as reasonable as it is, and the amount of hw/sw
talent on these lists, maybe people should band together and come up with
a NIC? Maybe have native mode + Tulip/PNIC clone compatibility mode.

Perhaps a first step towards leaning on the vendors for documentation

Yes. This is good.
I'd vote for LSI-Logic as being a sterling example of making documentation
available.
I'd out QLogic and others way down the list as the "don't get it" variety.

I'm wondering under what conditions a function specified with atexit()
won't get called on FreeBSD when a program terminates.
The manual page says it gets called "via exit(3) or via return from the
program's main".
I take it that the cleanup function won't be called if the program dumps

You can't safely do FP instructions in the kernel. I do not
believe the FP context is saved/restored between processes in kernel
mode, only from user mode. The kernel saves and restores the fp state
in the few places it uses FP instructions (for memory copying).
