Ok, so why is this only a problem in FreeBSD 4.x, or better yet, since its a well known problem, why arent they handled more eloquently? Or did someone just decide it was a neat idea to spit information onto the screen about a condition that you cant do anything about? Previous versions of freebsd dont complain with the same hardware, nor do other OS's.
