You need another BIOS. Either newer for this platform,
or another PC to put it on.
Or write some code to allocate the PCI resources [mem, interrupt,
etc].

you see how pcib3 has none of its children setup? It appears
as 
none2@pci3:4:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x10021186 rev=0x14
hdr=0x00

i'm only speculating here.

or perhaps 2 6-port cars instead of 3 4-port cards :)
We're using 6-port GE cards from silicom, they work ok.
