I have been having a simmular problem using a Magic 8-bit video card.  I
don't have a second card so I can't see what MacBSD thinks the configuration
is.  Actually it my not be the video cards fault but it is the only unique
thing about my system (I've noticed that other MacIIx owners have reported
success in installing lately.)
