  I noticed because the vga card (an Ark logic) on the computer I was
booting the TGA card on didn't have an IRQ.  

vga0: <ARK Logic 2000PV SVGA controller> rev 0x00 on pci0.8.0

  If irq doesn't matter if it's there but not required, the search
continues for what is preventing me from accessing the card.
