That is a non-option. Any device which may have to be a boot or console
device in a legacy system pretty much needs them.

Yes, that's true. We're somewhat fortunate in that our Legacy I/O
devices are confined to those on the first blade, and all of these
other devices are on other blades (PCI segments 1+).
But you're right, unless the card vendor supplied some kind of strapping
option, or something similar, it won't know it's in a UV system or not.
Thanks,
