Paul,
I hope your latest output-device in the email was a typo:
output-device pci2@D ...
It should be:
output-device pci2/@D ...
You need the slash. Also in order to be usable from OF it has to have an OF
ROM. It is a MAC video card, right? Do something like:
" pci1" select-dev ls unselect-dev
" pci2" select-dev ls unselect-dev
to figure out which bus your video card is on. Then use the address on the bus
(the "D" above) to specify the device.
