DU 4.0b not recognizing Mach64 ATI card

I have DU 3.2d-1 on one disk and I've built DU 4.0b on another.
The EISA Mach64 ATI video card is recognized by 3.2d but not by 4.0.

Syslog under 4.0b:
        Jan 27 17:51:33 mhc vmunix: vga0 at eisa0
        Jan 27 17:51:33 mhc vmunix: 640x480 VGA, 16 colors
        Jan 27 17:51:33 mhc vmunix: vga0: generic VGA driver


Syslog under 3.2d-1:
        Jan 26 15:48:46 mhc vmunix: vga0 at eisa0
        Jan 26 15:48:46 mhc vmunix: 1024x768 (ATI64 )
        Jan 26 15:48:46 mhc vmunix: vga0: ATI Mach64-GX Rev. 1


So far I haven't found any /usr/sys/conf/MACHINENAME
parameter to cause it to detect the card. The booklet that came
with the card had instructions for 3.2 that I wasn't able to
extrapolate to 4.0.

>From /usr/sys/MACHINENAME/eisa_option_data.c on both 3.2 and 4.0:
    { "ISA6400", "", "ati", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* ISA ATI Mach64 VGA */

So it seems the system has information about the card. What am I
missing to make it detect the card?

To save bandwidth, specific configuration files are at:
