Back in the day, around FreeBSD 2.2.8, it was a very nice operating system. However, when RELENG_5 was branched, a lot of wrong decisions were made, most of them by people with zero clue about how to implement proper SMP (e.g. John Baldwin). Matt Dillon tried to fix the situation, but all he

That change seems to have done it!! I left in the extra PCI IDs I had added to pcisupport.c and pci_cfgreg.c -- looks like that helps get things going. I've got options PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES in the kernel. I've also got device puc due to a suggestion from fbsd_user on freebsd-questions. The USB
