My BIOS does not have this entry. I can only select if this is a PnP
operating system. I have set it to "no" because if I select "yes" my PCI
NE-2000 network card is not recognized because the BIOS does not assign
resources to it (I was told on this list that FreeBSD is not yet a full
PnP system in this sense). If I set PnP to "yes" the card is correctly
recognized as a VGA card.

So how can I force the card to VGA in my situation? :) I have flashed the
latest BIOS into the motherboard and I still can't find any setting
mentioning CGA or VGA. More info about the motherboard can be found here:
