problem installing FreeBSD 4.8 on Intel SE7501HG2 motherboard

[Bruce Campbell]

After experiencing problems with FreeBSD and the onboard
Adaptec SCSI controller on an Intel SE7501HG2 motherboard,
I thought I'd upgrade the BMC firmware and BIOS, figuring
it can't be any worse.  It was running BIOS version 4.0
before, now it is running 6.0

Now, an attempt to install 4.8-RELEASE hangs during the
device scan at the beginning, right after saying:

  pci0 <unknown card> vendor=0x8086 dev=0x2483 at 31.3 irq 0

I tried disabling as much as possible during the kernel configuration,
and tried disabling some odds and ends in the BIOS setup, like
USB, none of which helped.

Has anyone used this motherboard and 4.8-RELEASE with success ?

I can successfully install 5.0, but it seems to have the
same odd behaviour with the onboard adaptec...
