I too ran into that some time back for a very different problem. If it weren't for the great help from this list, I would probably still be chasing that one down. Now I haven't installed FreeBSD for some time so this may be done already. Is there ANY benefit to having PNP OS enabled?? I know there are a lot of problems if it is? If there are no benefits, I would suggest making this (disabling it) a VERY BLATANT step (suggestion?) in the installation instructions for FreeBSD. Again, I haven't installed in quite some time so if this is already in place, I apologize. Just a thought.
