I don't see anything unusual... what problem are you having?  When you're
``disabling everything'', DON'T disable sc0, the system console.

I suspect that the pci0:11: device may be confusing you.  FreeBSD doesn't
have a PCI-specific IDE driver; the ISA IDE driver (wdc) will pick it up
fine.  In addition, chip0 and chip1 are motherboard bus bridge chips that
simply haven't been programmed into the PCI identifier code.  FreeBSD
doesn't need drivers for these so that is harmless as well.
