All recent Toshiba laptops that I have been able to get my hands on have this same problem. Apparently all Acer Centrino laptops need this too, but I can't confirm that. set hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0 at the loader prompt, then boot. If that doesn't work, try also setting the PnP OS option in the bios to "no". This _shouldn't_ be necessary, but was on at least one Toshiba laptop I played with recently.
