Re: Video card issues

Part of the problem here is that the phrase "not configured", while technically
accurate, leads to confusion.  I can see why, especially if there is no 
explicit
comment about it in the FAQ (I've never looked).

I would suggest the addition of something like " (X does this later)" in 
the message.

There is another comment that like this already in the probe code.  The line

  "pciide0: channel 0 ignored (other hardware responding to address)"

helps, I think.

I think it would help cut down the number of questions like this.
