The [not supported] warning generally doesn't mean that something failed ... 

I've changed it into [no driver assigned] in FreeBSD-current, since it has 
been the source of too much confusion.

This is some part of the PCI chip set, most likely a bridge chip between 
PCI and ISA or VLB busses.

No. These chips are initialised by the PCI BIOS, and left alone by the 
kernel ... The BIOS just got to do the right things ...

You didn't tell from what kind of medium you are trying to install.
This might make a difference :)

Don't know anything about FOREX, but the peripherals shouldn't cause any 
compatibility problems with FreeBSD.
