This is a long shot, but you might try getting FBSD to assign those
devices resources. There are some undocumented kernel options in the LINT
file you might try on your next recompile. Most notibly, I'd go for:

	options		PNPBIOS

I'd been thinking about trying that when last I had this problem, but
since the BIOS setting fixed it I never got arround to verifying it. Give
it a try and let me know.
