        I got a hold of my DEC Support before I could get any replies back from
you folks. Anyway, I wanted to tell you what he told me.
        
Basically I had to edit the Kernal config file in the /sys/conf/<SYSTEMNAME> and
add the line:
        
controller vga0 at eisa0 slot ? vector vgaintr

This forced it to look for the isa card instead of the generic video driver.
BTW: the "slot ?" is a sort of wildcard that will let have the system search for
the card.
