Ouch. This is something I should have done for a long time.. but you 
know... First you don't have time. Then your too unmotivated, and just
when motivation comes along, someone fills up work until its flooding
around your ears. 

This is a dual pci + eisa bus motherboard, right?

The quick hack fix I've used:
You have to get a kernel recompiled either using a controller that 
freebsd can find, or compile it on some other machine (I installed
the entire system on another machine first time I got our HP LS 4/133
up).

vi /usr/src/sys/pci/pci.
change:
        pciroots = 1;      
        while (pciroots--) {     
 
to:
        pciroots = 2;      
        while (pciroots--) {     
 
and off you go.

The correct fix? Got it outlined by someone here earlier. It's a bit
more work.

I probably have to do it before June unless someone else does it.
Right now though, I don't have time to enter the world of pci bus/chip 
magic.
