>Description:

  See suggested man page additions.  I don't know if there is anything that
can be done in the driver to help this situation, but I suspect not (though I
don't know too much about EHCI).

>How-To-Repeat:
	The most likely situation this will be encountered is crashing windows
on a system with an EHCI chip and then booting a NetBSD kernel without ehci.
Resetting a NetBSD boot after ehci is detected and then booting a kernel
without ehci has the same effect.

State-Changed-Why:
since it's been so long, the described scenario to lead to the bug (explicitly disabling ehci for netbsd) is uncommon, and I don't think we should describe bugs relating to it now. sorry your problem was not addressed at the time.
