replies to self - how uncouth.
While it's building I decide to re-read the recent thread
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?6.0.3.0.0.20040226131930.10513908
I'd discounted this as I wasn't seeing the EEPROM message.
Sure enough, moving the em0 card seems to fix the problem.
I'll reply to self again once I confirm the conflicting item ;)
