There is no problem (expect a bad choice 
of message text, perhaps :) The message 
has been changed and reads [no driver 
assigned] in FreeBSD-current).

The [not supported] just says, there is 
no driver for these chips in the kernel.

Nothing to worry about, since those are 
the CPU to PCI and PCI to (E)ISA chips, 
which have been initialized by the BIOS 
and are left alone by FreeBSD.
