<heading>Why doesn't my 3Com PCI network card work with my Micron
computer?</heading>
<p>Certain Micron motherboards have a non-conforming PCI BIOS
implementation that does not configure PCI devices at
the addresses reported. This causes grief when FreeBSD boots.
<p>To work around this problem, disable the "Plug and Play Operating
System" flag in the BIOS.
