     Thanks.  I'd known about that setting, and I "tried" it, but it
didn't seem to work.  However, I'd done a "monkey see, monkey do" in
/boot/devices.hints, and put this into it:

	hint.hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1

The correct line really is:

	hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1

I have no idea why the "hint" is not supposed to be there ....

     I've got things mostly working, and will post my experiences in a
separate message.

     Thanks for the help!
