Yay :o) While digging through NOTES I found a useful fxp0 hint for
/boot/device.hints :

# help fxp0 :
hint.fxp.0.prefer_iomap="1"

Without this 5.1-BETA as of Wed May 7 11:04:12 CEST 2003 fxp0 still
times out. With it fxp0 works fine :)

Whoops ! I appear to have some leftover config options from my HP
Omnibook ... (/me starts cleaning now)

Thanks for the tip :) I now have a working pcm0 :
cat /dev/sndstat
pcm0: <Intel 82801CA (ICH3)> at io 0x1c00, 0x18c0 irq 11 bufsz 16384 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)

Pity that you lost your ACPI changes.  APM works fine for me too.

Neither did I.

Already had that.

Next stop: bluetooth tests :o)
