The original BSD386 driver that the -current sb.c driver was ported
from includes code for PAS compatibility (pasreg.h and many #ifdefs in
sb.c).  Look for the original at ftp.ee.lbl.gov:/bsd386-sb-0.2a.tar.Z.
The PAS stuff was apparently never ported, probably because whoever
did it doesn't have a PAS.
