BTW, one of my machines (i486 old motherboard) fails to probe the VGA card 
sometimes..  it switches over to sio console mode.  The last thing it 
prints on the VGA screen is:

Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard

Normally the next line is:
sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0>

I swapped vga cards (junk VGA clone to a known good S3-801 card), and it 
now only fails the probe about 1 in 10 times, instead of 8 in 10.

I'm not ruling out a hardware problem on the motherboard. Sometimes the 
machine powers up and can't find the vga card either.

Cheers,
