This is mentioned in LINT/NOTES already:
# By default, only 10 EISA slots are probed, since the slot numbers
# above clash with the configuration address space of the PCI subsystem,
# and the EISA probe is not very smart about this. This is sufficient
# for most machines, but in particular the HP NetServer LC series comes
# with an onboard AIC7770 dual-channel SCSI controller on EISA slot #11,
# thus you need to bump this figure to 12 for them.
options EISA_SLOTS=12
Maybe it should be mentioned in the Harware Notes for current releases,
including the workaround.
