Uhm - yes, but those are the device ids for each pci device, which are also
listed in the 'Subsytem' line. I was under the impression that the
MAINBOARD_PCI_SUBSYSTEM_DEVICE_ID setting was a device ID for the whole
motherboard - is that correct? If not, what does that setting mean?

I see that for some other boards it is set to something that makes sense for
the whole board - the Tyan s2881 for instance has 2881 as the device id.

Thanks,
Ward.
