Nothing. The program that does autopci detection just says "Can't find
PCI bus" and you go one to configure the drivers the old way.

I don't have an amiga to try this on.

Sparcs use sbus and/or PCI, depending on the Sparc you've got.
As I mentioned before, _just_ autodetecting PCI cards will cover a _large_
number of cases, so that's what I'm shooting for. If someone else with an
Amiga wants to do the same thing for zorro, I'll help if I can.
