 Then the BIOS is probably broken, and yes, that knowledge doesn't help.

 I don't think that we currently support PAE and non-PAE in a single
 kernel. In any case, that would only help if the device would be
 mapped with a >4G address, currently it's not mapped at all.
 
 
 I once tried a kernel with 'options PCI_NETBSD_CONFIGURE' to
 handle uninitialized hardware (in this case a hotplug ExpressCard),
 but I also had other adaptions to the PCI code. I doubt that
 it works out of the box.
