Robert,

I've just commented out the panic() in link_elf_obj.c and now i'm able to 
create vlans again.

# svn diff link_elf_obj.c
Index: link_elf_obj.c
===================================================================
--- link_elf_obj.c      (revision 195705)
+++ link_elf_obj.c      (working copy)

                                        vnet_data_copy(ef->progtab[pb].addr,
                                            shdr[i].sh_size);
 #endif
+#if 0
                                else
                                        panic("link_elf_load_file: 
unexpected "
                                            "progbits type");
+#endif
                        } else
                                bzero(ef->progtab[pb].addr, 
shdr[i].sh_size);

Now i'll get some sleep (too much coffee for a day...) or i'll not be able 
to look at screen tomorrow  =)

Thanks and regards,
Luiz
