That is what I did originally, but I didn't get any answer. That when I
decided to give it a try at newbies.

It worked! Thanks a lot, I would never have figured out this myself.
Checking the manual of my Mainboard I found out the meaning of the setting:
PnP OS Installed.
When PnP OS Installed is set to no: it just means that the BIOS will sort
out hardware conflicts between the different PnP hardware, while when PnP OS
Installed is set to yes: the OS is supposed to solve these conflicts itself.
W'2000 obvisiously doesn't care when the BIOS already solved these
conflicts. So FreeBSD and W'2000 both work fine now.
Thanks a lot.
