Hmm.. the "PnP OS installed" switch indicates to your machine to initialize or not initialize your PnP cards at bootup. If set to "enable" or "on" state your machine expects your OS to initialize PnP cards and doesn't touch your cards at bootup. In the latter case your cards doesn't have IRQ and I/O address assigned. You seem to have PnP BIOS which can't be turned off, so all your PnP cards should be initialized correctly. Don't try to switch it off. I've seen several messages in the lists, can't remember exactly in which list but perhaps questions or current list. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
