I have 2 machines set up exactly the same (I mean the kernel) one is a P166
the other a P200.

The P200 however gives this message after each boot up:

vga0 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 0 on pci0:20:0
vga1 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 0 on pci0:20:2
vga2 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 0 on pci0:20:4
vga3 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 0 on pci0:20:6

What can be causing it to have multiple vga entries when the P166 does not
have it and the kernels are the same (yep one is the exact copy of the
other).
