Doing these:

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"

and removing the disabling for APM has _mostly_ got me working.

For some reason, I _don't_ need:

devd_enable="YES"

and pccardd doesn't work, but cards are still recognised. Which is 
interesting - I presume there's something else going on I don't know 
about yet...

Reamining problems: I still haven't got X to work (not banged my head 
against it hard yet), I can't hibernate to disk, built-in 802.11b 
doesn't work, and cardbus 802.11b sort of works but isn't associating 
(again, I haven't banged hard against this one yet). Any hints appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben.
