It's good to know the new USB2 stuff don't crash plugging a USB device anymore!! After I bootstrapped FreeBSD on it, I rsync'd /usr/src and /usr/obj and everything went fine. Previous experiences would crash (7.X). Also I notice this in dmesg: ad4: FAILURE - SET_MULTI status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> but it seems to be harmless.
