I have been trying to install FreeBSD 4.4 for the past two weeks without much
success.  I have a PC workstation currently running OS/2 and DOS 6.22 under System Commander 7.04.  I have over 3 GB of unused/unformatted space and want
to install FreeBSD as my main OS in this area.  Each attempt hangs up
during the device probe.

When I select the Kernel Configuration menu there are 7 conflicts.  Six are
in the Network category and 1 in the Miscellaneous category:

NETWORK:
       Device    IRQ    Port
        o cs0           0x300
        o ed0     10    0x280
        o fe0           0x300
        o ie0     10    0x300
        o lnc0    10    0x280
        o sn0     10    0x300

MISCELLANEOUS:
        o PC-card controller    pcic0    0x3e0

I disabled all of the ethernet drivers and tried to continue but
the system still hangs during the device probe.

The driver I need is xl0 for my 3COM 3c905B NIC and I assume I can load that after the install.  The card is located in PCI slot 10 IO Base B000h IRQ 5.

I also noticed that when I disable device ie0, the PC-card controller
device disappears.  It does not become inactive, it just disappears.  It also reappears when I enable the ie0 device.  For the record, the ie0 device lists the following:

     AT&T Starlan 10 and EN100, 3C507, NI5210 Ethernet ada

I'm not even sure why a pc card is appearing in the configuration menu.

Note: My sound card occupies IRQ 10.  Also, my BIOS is set to "NO" on the Plug'nPlay option.
