Ok, problem solved...

Thanx for your notes, it helped a lot.

For thse who may wonder, I simply changed 2 parameters :

hw.pci.enable_io_modes
                   Enable PCI resources which are left off by some BIOSes or
                   are not enabled correctly by the device driver.  Tunable
                   value set to ON (1) by default, but this may cause problems
                   with some peripherals.

     hw.pci_allow_unsupported_io_range
                   Allow the PCI bridge to pass through an unsupported memory
                   range assigned by the BIOS.  Tunable value set to OFF (0)
                   by default.


can't say exactly which one prevented me from crash (surely 1st one but
didn't tried any further). Dunno if it would be possible to prevent such
things to happen by simply test it, I guess testing it will crash the whole
system too.

Thanx all btw, I learn, I learn :o)
