That message you see is just the last line of kernel messages before it hangs during boot. Your problem has nothing to do with firewire, which is unsupported (and ignored) hardware.

The easiest way to find the root cause is to do a verbose kernel boot.

Step 1: At the boot> prompt, type "boot -c"

Step 2: At the first UKC> prompt, type "verbose"

Step 3: At the second UKC> prompt, type "quit"

Step 4: See if there are any messages produced after the firewire probe has ended. This should point to the device causing the hang. It can be disabled at the UKC> prompt if necessary.

For more detail, see the boot_config(8) man page.

The last msg is the msg for probling "recoh firewire 6 not configured 0 sdhc0"
after that no msg.

The man page for sdhc(4) indicates it is the host controller for SD memory devices.

To disable it permanently after disabling it during boot -c at the UKC> prompt, issue:

# cp -p /bsd /bsd.orig
# config -euf /bsd

Please read the config(8) man page prior to executing the command, so you understand the impact.

No. This driver is not a module, it is a component of the monolithic kernel.

I don't know what architecture you are using, but if your hardware uses ACPI, you might consider "disable acpi" at the UKC> prompt; it often cures ills caused by varying interpretations of the ACPI standard by different manufacturers.

I assume you mean you've edited /etc/fstab. You can check mount options for all mounted filesystems by issuing:

$ mount
