Ok ...

The first one is the PCI->CPU bridge, a.k.a. your "PCI Chipset".  The 
reason it's "not configured" is because NetBSD doesn't have a 
machine-independent driver for it.  But, that's ok, because the i386 port 
doesn't need one; the BIOS deals with all of that stuff.  The Alpha port 
would correctly recognize it, and attach a driver to it, since the Alpha 
port has to frob with the PCI "manually".

The second one is your PCI VGA card ... don't worry about it, either.  
The BIOS configures it to act like a "regular ISA VGA card".

The third one is your BusLogic.  The BusLogic PCI cards "masquerade" as 
ISA devices, so you probably saw a bt<somthing> at isa0 earlier in the 
boot process.  You can safely ignore that one, too.

PnP mode affects only the ISA bus.

Hmm ... are you able to boot into single-user mode?  Can you paste the 
output of the boot messages?  Sorry if you have to 10-finger copy, but it 
will sure help figure out the problem...
