Hello,
	I have an Abit BX6-II motherboard with 5 PCI slots.  Whenever
I try to populate both of the bottom two slots, FreeBSD crash dumps
on boot.  I have tried this with a variety of cards over the years,
but I always have the same results.

Is this a FreeBSD problem, a motherboard problem, or a problem with the
PCI cards?

Recently I realized that I really need 6 PCI cards in the box (5 ATA 
controllers and 1 NIC).  Right now it's semi-crippled with just the 4 
cards (3 ATA controllers with some drives on slaves and 1 NIC), and I 
was thinking about upgrading to a Tyan Trinity 400.  Will I not be able 
to populate this board beyond 4 cards?
