sorry for confusing you, the hint about pcibios applies to OpenBSD,
not NetBSD. The pcibios is an option, not a driver in NetBSD. AFAICS,
the GENERIC kernel does not even have PCIBIOS enabled. So if you want
to try it, I'd suggest compiling a new kernel with the following
additional options:

options PCIVERBOSE
options PCIBIOS # PCI BIOS support
options PCIBIOSVERBOSE # PCI BIOS verbose info

You can also try enabling one or more of these:

#options PCI_ADDR_FIXUP # fixup PCI I/O addresses
#options PCI_BUS_FIXUP # fixup PCI bus numbering
#options PCI_INTR_FIXUP # fixup PCI interrupt routing

Let me know if you need help compiling a kernel. The VERBOSE things
should make the kernel print more messages so you will have a chance
of seeing what's going on.
