I know this message of my Soundblaster AWE64. It's no harm. The card offers
more than eight possibilities (the maximum FBSD wants) for PnP
configurations. Therefore the warning.
How did your card fail? As it is ISA you really have to care for the IRQ and
IO. Check your dmesg for this and forget the above-cited line.
If there is a (DOS-)tool to disable PnP I always prefer to handcraft IO and
IRQ settings.

Ciao
