The awe0 device requires not one, but *three* ports to be initialized for
it to function. During your boot-time config, you need to do:
pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20
(assuming your AWE32 is the first PnP device in your system).
This has tripped up many people trying to configure this device, myself
included. :-)
