Could you please try booting with "-v" entered at the "Boot: " prompt, and send all NUMBERS from lines with pcibus_setup() or pcibus_check on them, and the LAST few lines printed ? } Now can I recomplile the kernel to not probe the pci bus then get this } onto a floppy and run the install procedure? You could compile a kernel without the "controller pci0" line, to completely disable PCI probes. but I doubt that this solves your problem, since I never heard of any PCI system that locked up in the PCI probe ... Another possibility would be to try /sys/i386/isa/pcibus.c from the FreeBSD-current sources.
