??? via2itab[1] = via2_nubus_intr; All nubus interrupts is gathered to
via2 interrupt line 1. via2 is glue logic for nubus, so nubus and via
are closely connected each other.

??? Valkyrie built in video card interrupt line is nubus slot 0.
And LC-PDS is nubus slot e in Q630(LC630).

I want to leave this problem to Mr. Allen. But I think complete
compatibility for i386 is no means almostly, though IDE block device
number is 10 in macppc, in other port is different from i386.

If you carry IDE disk from mac68k to i386, you do only MAKEDEV.

Do your machine have a card in LC-PDS slot. If don't, maybe your
machine don't work.
