This means that your pcic bridge is a pci device and that it is using
PCI interrupts, which give you no choice in the matter of what
interrupt to use.  It may be that your bridge isn't properly setup
(likely by the bridge software) so you need to use ISA interrupts.

To do so, you'll need to add
        hw.pcic.intr_path=1
to your /boot/loader.conf file and reboot.
