Oh (yes, the space is needed. ": " says the next token is the name of a
method to define). That means it already has an open method, that
shouldn't happen unless it has already interpreted an FCode.

Could well be.

Since it already has an open method, try:

" /pci/pci10d3,141 at 10" open-dev

(I had it backwards before. You need the string as an argument to open-dev).

Assuming that works, try "words" in there to see what's defined. If only
open is defined, then try doing the load and byte-load operations. If it
has a bunch of methods, that suggests that that openbios' internal fcode
has already been applied to it, and you'll have to disable that somehow.
