It doesn't matter at all how he's trying to open the file.  He's running
on a 68040 Mac.  It doesn't *have* a PCI bus, so there won't be a
/proc/bus/pci/devices file at all.

This is a bug in the stupid X configurator thing shipped with Debian.  I
had the same problem on an sbus based SPARC.  Basically, the Debian
configuration tools completely choke on non-PCI machines.

I don't know anything at all about what X servers are available for m68k
macs.  However, there's a whole list devoted to using Debian on them:
debian-m68k@lists.debian.org

Try joining that list and asking questions there.  The people there are
likely to be more knowledgeable about the specific quirks related to
m68k hardware.  Also read http://www.linux-m68k.org/

HTH,
noah
