Some might not be initiased. The basic point is that FreeBSD does not do
the device enumeration and therefore any device that has not been
configured by the BIOS or the previous OS (like Windows) is not
accessable.

Sometimes the BIOS wipes the configuration upon reboot and in that case
the settings Windows has left behind are no longer available.
