The configuration screen lists just a fraction of the drivers available
for FreeBSD.  The reason they are there is those particular drivers have
a nasty habit of hanging machines when they probe.  Most of the time you
can leave them in and there won't be any trouble.  Have no fear, the
installer will pick up your cards.
