The 0x40 flag fixed the problem. I had the same problem on a Motorola CPV5000 Compact-PCI system board. I had to disable the parallel port in the BIOS setup to be able to install FreeBSD on it, or boot kernels with the 'ppc' device configured. SInce adding the flag, this all seems to be better now. This is with a 4.0-current based system as of early March. Petium MMX at 233MHz with an 'HX' chipset.
