Hmmm... So why is PCIOCWRITE failing, even when securelevel is 0 and 
allowaperture=2...

I don't know this area at all well, but this looks worth investigating

/sys/dev/pci/pci.c

        case PCIOCWRITE:
                io = (struct pci_io *)data;
                switch (io->pi_width) {
                case 4:
                        /* Make sure the register is properly aligned */
                        if (io->pi_reg & 0x3)
                                return EINVAL;
                        pci_conf_write(pc, tag, io->pi_reg, io->pi_data);
                        error = 0;
                        break;
                default:
                        error = ENODEV;
                        break;
                }
                break;

I don't think the location is a problem..

I don't have an i386 box handy to try at the moment.

As an aside, anyone know why securelevel gets set to 1 after
booting (despite the setting in rc.securelevel)?
