I thing here is the real problem. It seems the fxp0 interface fails to
do some initializing. This probably results in the interface not being
fully enabled/up. 

I'me not sure what SCB is but i think is related to signaling / irq ? 

Do you see this also with the bsd.rd kernel? Please look if there are
differences between the to in dmesg and ifconfig fxp0 ?
