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.
