Hi All

I'm trying to get FreeBSD to install on a PC here and nothing to do with the
PCI bus is probed. When I say nothing, BSD does not find and of the
motherboard resources (PCI-ISA bridge etc) and also does not see the 2 3COM
3c905 NICs.

Motherboard chipset: VX-Pro (Taiwanese rip-off of Intel VX chipset, supposed
pin and function compatible)
FreeBSD version: both 2.2.8 and 3.3-RELEASE

I've tried the standard GENERIC kernel off the CD with 2.2.8 and 3.3, as
well as a stripped down 3.3 kernel with the line
controller pci0
in it.

Please help - I need to get this machine going and cannot see the PCI
network card.


Regards,

Irvine Short
