>Description:
I could not install bsd on an old Tulip Vision Line dx50 pc.
The same is true for OpenBSD and NetBSD.
(Linux works ;-)
The problem (for FreeBSD) is the probing for pnp devices.
At address 3c3 there seems to be a critical port which

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Quick and dirty:
Elimination of pnp scanning in the kernel.

If it is so: sorry, just a RTFM problem.
