I just noticed that someone else ran into a problem with the solution
"Disable PNP OS in the BIOS". I too ran into that some time back for a
very different problem. If it weren't for the great help from this list,
I would probably still be chasing that one down.

Now I haven't installed FreeBSD for some time so this may be done
already.

Is there ANY benefit to having PNP OS enabled?? I know there are a lot
of problems if it is? If there are no benefits, I would suggest making
this (disabling it) a VERY BLATANT step (suggestion?) in the
installation instructions for FreeBSD. Again, I haven't installed in
quite some time so if this is already in place, I apologize.

Just a thought.
