PNPBIOS is on by default (and non-optional) in 5.x.

I don't really have experience to support this (I upgraded a 4.4 box to 
5.0-CURRENT once), but I think upgrading 4.x boxes to 5.x from source is 
pretty messy anyway, just thinking of all the renamed/moved/removed 
binaries... but maybe someone has already prepared a script to help cleaning 
a freshly upgrading system? I'd definitely be interested in such a thing.

That's great, so my peculiar Compaq Deskpro EN scenario should be fine
as well. I will try a FreeSBIE boot anyway to verify.

BTW, why not make PNPBIOS on by default in 4-STABLE? Is this a danger
of breaking things, aka POLA violation against prepare for 5.x
upgrade case?
