I think what folk meant above (I certainly did :-) ) was that if a 
device is declared such:

device pcm0

then it should (?) itself from the PnP settings, not creating a "dead" 
pcm0, and the "live" one from pnp1.

Are you saying that if you have a

device foo0

Where foo's were previously available in the ISA bus, then the first 
workable fooN is foo1? YUKK!
