>Description:
I could not install bsd on an old Tulip Vision Line dx50 pc.
The same is true for OpenBSD and NetBSD.
(Linux works ;-)
The problem (for FreeBSD) is the probing for pnp devices.
At address 3c3 there seems to be a critical port which
leeds to a hang-up.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Quick and dirty:
Elimination of pnp scanning in the kernel.
Is there a kernel switch I did not find?
If it is so: sorry, just a RTFM problem.

 Hello Sheldon.
 It has 20mb installed.
 The only problem for this pre-historic system is the pnp-scanning.
 Everything else works. (See my writing ;-)
 So this was only an informational not a problem report.
 Bye
 Norbert.

State-Changed-Why:  

Can this PR be closed? It sounds like this problem only affects a 
small number of now-ancient PCs, so unless you can suggest patches 
it is unlikely to get fixed.
