You can change the variable at boot.

When you see the loader menu (Where you can choose 1, 2, 3, etc.), press the key for the loader prompt (I don't remember the number, IIRC it's 6?).

In the commandline you can use set to set variables, and show to show them.

So using set hw.pci.mcfg=0 should do the trick.

After that type boot to boot the system.

I have no idea if this helps with your problem though, I have no experience with Dell PERC controllers ....
