I'll try, but I'm very busy right now !

The NCR and generic PCI drivers in FreeBSD 
were written by a friend and me, so we
should be able to work out a solution.

If FreeBSD doesn't see the NCR controller,
then there probably are some boot messages, 
that might help understand the problem.

I need a complete log of all messages that 
deal with PCI (i.e. start with "pci0").

You'll probably have to write down these
messages, I'm afraid. (There are other 
possibilities, but they probably aren't 
worth the effort or they would require
more hardware.)
