State-Changed-Why:  

This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, per-se. Reboot your machine and go 
into the BIOS setup menu. Hunt around until you find a setting that says 
something "Plug and Play OS" and turn it off. 

If your machine came pre-installed with Lose95 or Lose98, it was probably 
set at the factory to have the "plug and play OS" setting turned on. What 
is this does is prevent the BIOS from configuring PCI and ISA plug and Play 
devices so that the OS can do it instead. Only Lose95 and Lose98 work this 
way. FreeBSD wants all PCI devices to be configured by the BIOS so that 
it can detect them and set up drivers for them. 

Since this is not a software bug, I'm closing this PR. Change the "plug 
and play OS" setting in your BIOS and boot the system again.
