Hello again!

I keep coming back to these errors...and it seems to be whenever I use 
the preconfiguration
for my iMac's built in ATI Rage Pro video card

Or it could be the previous IO warnings...causing "no busID" (seems the 
most literal interpretation)

but another "snip" shows
        <snip>
               (II) PCI: PCI scan (all values are in hex)
               (II) PCI: 00:00:0: chip 1057,0002 card 0000,0000 rev 40 
class 06,00,00 hdr 00
               (II) PCI: 00:10:0: chip 106b,0017 card 0000,0000 rev 00 
class ff,00,00 hdr 00
               (II) PCI: 00:12:0: chip 1002,4750 card 0000,0000 rev 5c 
class 03,00,00 hdr 00
               (II) PCI: 00:14:0: chip 11c1,5801 card 11c1,5801 rev 12 
class 0c,03,10 hdr 00
       </snip>

Now...having cut my teeth on iMacs...I don't know squat about PCI 
cards...or buses or anything.
So I'm totally guessing...but it seems that
- the video card is at PCI 00:18:0
- so does the "card 0000 0000" suggest empty slots??

(( I am sooo conufuuussseeeddd! ))

But...where was I ... if I use the preconfigured ATI Pro Rage from the 
db...eveything stops at
the "Primary Device is: PCI 00:12:0 " error

It seems to be only when I let the configure program load generic values 
for the video card, that
I ever get past this error (i.e. the mouse and keyboard errors were past 
this point )

I'm thinking that unless I think of something different to try...I'm not 
going to get any further than
I've gotten.

Does anyone have any suggestions...even about where to try to find 
informations?!
It seems like once your through the NetBSD docs...resources get thin. 
There's searching the
XFree86 forums...but it seems difficult coming up with any real useful 
information.

I'm definitely feeling a bit buggered :-P

Thanks again!!
