Since BootX creates a fake OF device tree, I suspect it to appear in the
tree.

Can you use your Mystique under MacOS? This is of course a prerequisite for
BootX seeing your board.
OF in the machine's ROM (not the card's ROM) should make _any_ PCI board
visible provided that it contains correct config-space registers with a
vendorID and a deviceID, which is required for all PCI cards anyway. The
I'd expect that, too. But my DawiControl DC-2976UW Sym875 SCSI board doesn't
show up in /pci, while my S3 Vision968 is visible as /pci/display. Both boards
don't have OF ROMs.
Geert, do either of these cards show up under your OF tree? I wouldn't
expect so as theyt don't have an OF rom (like my mystique) but I am
curious.

Cheers
