We need to have /boot/device.hints for those systems without PnP BIOS. On the system with the PnP BIOS, we shall have one ISA device instance (say, sio0) created by the isahint driver based on hints described in /boot/device.hints, and the pnpbios driver will create another instance (sio%d) for the very same device, based on information from the PnP BIOS. Then, we will see "unknown: <PNPXXX> can't assing resources" when the second device instance is probed. This happens even if the device driver understands PnP IDs.
