Just a followup:  6.2-BETA2 works on this system, however I just got a 
panic in the mfi driver.  I didn't have a dumpdev set when it broke to 
ddb (can I set it once in ddb?), but it's still in the debugger if 
anyone wants any info from it.

I think something like this is happening (somewhat guessing here, as I 
don't have the trace in front of me):

In sys/dev/mfi/mfi.c around line 349, mfi_intr gets called, which 
executes the mfi_complete command and returns, but the device_printf 
("Cannot set up interrupt") gets called anyhow and ends up causing a 
panic down in sccnputc.
