anyway - FreeBSD 5.4/amd64 (tried booting from install CD) allocates 
different IRQ for every device and all works fine?

tried with Fixit option on installer when i checked with sysstat and top 
usage. now fxp works on every slot fine with USB on.


it looks like NetBSD allocates everything like crappy BIOS wants while 
FreeBSD allocates as FreeBSD wants.

on FreeBSD site in Hardware Compatibility listing for AMD64 my motherboard 
is cited as having crappy BIOS :(

FreeBSD is OK, but NetBSD would be even better :)
