5.2.1 on Toshiba P25-S609

I hope this is the right place to post this.  If not please kindly direct me 
to the correct location.

I have searched around and can't seem to find if this has been answered 
anywhere yet.  I have looked in the archives and found where a couple other 
people have had this problem, but I have not been able to find anywhere that 
it has been answered.

When trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 (from the iso images) on my Toshiba 
P25-S609 Laptop the install hangs with the line:

cbb0: <ToPIC100 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.0 on pci2

If I tell it to use verbose mode the last 2 lines say:

cbb0: <ToPIC100 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.0 on pci2
pcib2: device cbb0 requested decoded memory range 0xc2000000-0xc20fffff

Reading through the archives one suggestion was to set the bios setting for 
Plug and Play OS to NO.  This is not an option in the P25 bios.

Another suggestion was to set 'Detect all Devices' in the bios.  Again this 
isn't an option with the P25 bios. 

The bios was obviously designed for my mother because you can't set any 
advanced setting like you can on most ASUS or equivalent motherboards.

I realize that they are totally different beasts, but I have successfully 
installed Mandrake 9.1, Mandrake 10 Community, SuSE 9.0, and Debian on this 
laptop.  This is my first attempt at FreeBSD.

Any help would be appreciated.
