Subject: NIC memory corrupt

Every few boots or so, I get the message that my NIC memory is corrupt. I
understand this if I force reboot the machine but not after rebooting from
a 'halt.' Am I doing something wrong?

I have a sonic (brand) Card in my LC III expansion slot. It has a Macronix
chipset. I am running NetBSD 1.3K. My shutdown procedure is as follows:

[sean@kristy]-~> su
Password:
[root@kristy]-~# halt
NetBSD/mac68k doesn't trust itself to update RTC at shutdown.
System halted.

Cheers,
Sean
