If you have PCI bios issues with -stable, please aplly http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/no-hang.diff.2 to the latest sources. This won't address the hang that Nate is seeing (I don't think), but it will (I hope) address the problem that Scott Lambert and others have reported where the system hangs at various points during the probe/attach process, but before we go multi-user. You will need to set hw.pci.ignore_pcibios=1 in the boot loader or with /boot/loader.conf to activate this patch. It causes the PCI code to completely ignore the PCIBIOS that might otherwise be on the system. Chances are that if you don't route your interrupts, then pccard won't work. However, this will let us narrow problems down. I've seen three problem reports since I MFC'd the PCI BIOS code from current. Two are on a toshiba laptop that won't boot on -current anyway. One is from someone who can't see the extra pci busses anymore on his Compaq server.
