I've booted the NetBSD 1.0 install floppy set on an ASUS PVI-486 SP3
motherboard successfully. I've not gotten any further because I did
that in the shop (just to make sure it worked) and have only just now
unpacked the system at home. But yes, PCI does seem to work.

FreeBSD seems to have support for PCI as well, though it didn't work
on my system. (For details see my posting in c.o.3.bugs.) On the other
hand, the bug report acknowledgement from the FreeBSD core team came
less than an hour after I'd posted the message, so I suspect it might
be fixed up pretty quick. :-)
