On the /200, there is no slot 3 - the motherboard shows up as seperate
"slots", as your "cnfg" output shows.

The PMAG-FA in slot 1 is your problem - I think it's one of the cards
that uses an Intel i860 in a completely undocumented way. At the
moment, your only choice is to run with a serial console (you have to
remove the card), or to use a supported graphics card (either PMAG-A,
PMAG-B or PMAGB-B).
