pnpbios provides support for finding and attaching
  devices by extracting information from the PnP BIOS of a machine.

pnpbios driver appeared in NetBSD
  1.5.
pnpbios bus provides a different way to attach
  devices than the real buses (e.g.,
  isa(4)). The reason to use
  pnpbios instead of the real bus is that some machines
  have weird routings of, e.g., interrupts. The exact information about these
  things can be found in the BIOS, which is why the
  pnpbios bus has a better chance of succeeding with
  getting it right.
Many older BIOS implementations do not support PnP, and some newer ones do not follow the standards.
