You didn't mention which version of FreeBSD you are trying to install/use, or provide much of a description of the rest of your hardware. Start by going through your BIOS; make sure "Plug-and-play OS" is set to "NO"; disable the serial and parallel ports if you aren't using them, and turn off anything else (onboard sound?) that you won't need. It sounds like either the BIOS isn't configuring the card or you are out of resources (like IRQs). -- -Chuck
