37.Nd introduction to PCI bus machine-independent drivers and support
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Pp
40Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and PCI-bus interface
41of your system. Typical PCI buses are connected to the
42main system bus  via a PCI host bridge,  or daisy-chained
43via a PCI-PCI bridge to an additional PCI bus.  See the
44.Xr intro 4
45documentation for your system for details.

47.Sh INTRODUCTION
48.Nx 1.2
49and later versions include  machine-independent bus support and
50drivers for  the following PCI  bus devices.
51Not all supported PCI devices are listed below.
52Consult the
53.Xr intro 4
54section for your CPU for additional machine-dependent  drivers
55(e.g., console drivers that support PCI video cards).
