I started playing with this board on Friday, I opted to disable to
mvpex driver (which the bad size error comes from) and the pci and
pchb drivers.

The system booted fine after that. Having these drivers means that the
graphics card is non functional but as there's no driver for it in
NetBSD, it's not a problem. The other group of users affected would be
those who modified the board to add in a 1x pci-e connector.

I ditched the HP u-boot & upgraded but now how issues with u-boot
which I need to fix.
