ASUS V9400 video card prevents FreeBSD from booting

[Jordon Hofer]

I have tried that before.  I tried booting it once with the bad video card
in and all the other slots empty.  It still failed.

If you pull the Adaptec 39160 out, will the OS boot? Can you send
`pciconf -lv` and `dmesg` from the system without SCSI card and
with V9400-X (if it will boot), and from the system with SCSI card
and with the old video adapter?
