Remember that gestalt can be made to report whatever is desired. Therefore,
the accelerator card's software should install a gestalt callback or
whatever it is.

However, anyone could install one just as well. Maybe an init...

But wait: are all INITs unloaded when the boot process happens? Does this
mean that no special hardware can be detected since any gestalt callbacks
installed at normal boot time get unloaded and/or never get reloaded when
MacBSD boots?

Wotta catch-22...

P.S: pls email (by CC: or whatever; I signed off the list. I'll sign back
on when I'm ready to install.)
