: what then pnp stuff (/usr/src/sys/isa/pnp*) do in -current?

That just deals with the isa pnp expansion cards.  the PnP BIOS
setting to "no" means that the BIOS will enable all the PnP (not just
ISA add on cards) devices before passing control to the os.  With it
set to yes, the OS has to do this activation, and FreeBSD doesn't do
that yet.
