>Description:
Hardware probes kill Peak SBCs, in particular the Peak-6010 Pentium
Pro SBC, and a Peak P166 PCI card that we can't find the model number
of, but has a part number of KJ023300 on the card.

Disabling probes for non-present hardware cures the problem. We suspect
the cause is that Peak use some memory in the C0000-E0000 range for some
purpose of their own.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install FreeBSD on a Peak SBC.
>Fix:
Workaround: disable probes for hardware you haven't got.
Fix: unknown.

State-Changed-Why:  
This PR is just too old and alot has happened 
in the hardware detection area. 

Please open a new PR if the problem persists in more 
recent versions of FreeBSD.
