Instead always send VERBOSE boot messages (enter "-v" at the Boot: prompt) and I'll be able to tell you whether the card is supported by the FreeBSD PCI code. If it is a Lance compatible card, then I can send you patches I want to integrate into the FreeBSD-current source tree as soon as I get some positive feedback (I don't own a Lance Ethernet card and have no way of testing my patches beyond a kernel build) ...
