Nope.  :/

Email me your kernel config file and I'll send you a -current kernel you
can boot to test if you like.

That doesn't matter.  FreeBSD's PnP code doesn't rely on the BIOS to setup
the devices (well, current anyway.)

I just need you to boot a -current kernel and capture the dmesg output if
you can; easiest way to do this would be to hook the box in question up to
another machine and boot via serial console.
