Fredericks suggestion to set hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0 at the boot menu got me booting, but fdisk doesnt seem to like my disk controller, GEOM is set as per 4.x but fdisk says its invalid and changes it, fdisk then seems to think i have 2 Xenix partitions rather than one NTFS and one Freebsd Slice. didnt realy want to carry on as I dont have time to reinstall the MS slice of my laptop at the moment if it goes wrong.
