Actually, "not configured" means "no configured driver for this device" :-)
Implementing a cheezy i386 "do-nothing" driver for these wouldn't be hard
at all :-) As for the pci-isa bridge, that's really what the i386 isa
bus should be attached to (thus setting the "isa_seen" flag in
autoconf.c, so that it won't be attached again... :-)
