IMO the easies was would be to force these assignments on FreeBSD. You can try this manually to see if the various drivers will work. BIOS changes seem to be to be out because any changes here are going to effect all other O/S's. Interupt the boot and then boot to configure the kernel in visual mode. I forget the syntax but if you do boot -h the options will be listed. If that works, configure a kernel and you are done. As an alternative most if not all this stuff can be done in /boot/loader/conf or other boot time configuration files. Docs for kernel configuration are easier to come by. Hope this helps and that others will correct any mis-information. > Thanks for the tips!
