Correct (or sn0 and sn1).  It should work fine.  If you didn't see
two MACs, then either you missed them wor we didn't recognize the
nubus card.

I've booted with both, and switched between them, but never tried to run
both at once.  If they don't work, there's a bug somewhere that we'll
have to squish.
