Sorry for the delay I've been very busy with a new baby and a new job. I have applied the patch but it makes no difference. The PCI bus is still only found on the second boot into FreeBSD after a hard reset (or power cycle) regardless of whether I boot into DOS 6.22 first (to activate my PnP sound card). My motherboard is a no name GA-586AP if that means anything to you.
