I'm trying to get FreeBSD to install on a PC here and nothing to do with the PCI bus is probed. When I say nothing, BSD does not find any of the motherboard resources (PCI-ISA bridge etc) and also does not see the 2 3COM 3c905 NICs. Motherboard chipset: VX-Pro (Taiwanese rip-off of Intel VX chipset, supposed pin and function compatible) FreeBSD version: both 2.2.8 and 3.3-RELEASE I've tried the standard GENERIC kernel off the CD with 2.2.8 and 3.3, as well as a stripped down 3.3 kernel with the line controller pci0 in it. I've tried again without the 2 3COM NICs plugged in, and it made no difference. It actually never gets round to saying "Probing for devices on PCI bus" It goes straight from Preloaded ELF kernel to Preloaded userconfig script etc etc (userconfig script is empty, BTW) then to Probing for devices on ISA bus.
