OK.

I disagree. This routine is merely following orders from the bootloader. 
It doesn't probe anything except nubus. It uses "Generic NuBus" when a 
nubus card is actually probed.

But built-in video cards are not probed at all. Yet the existing code also 
says "Generic NuBus" (the second instance, that is the one I changed), 
even though video_is_nubus == 0, i.e. no nubus card was probed. This is 
bogus.

You might argue that it is also bogus to suggest that the bootloader might 
know something about a generic built-in display on II,IIx,IIcx,IIfx. But 
the routine presently defers to the bootloader. I didn't change that logic 
as I don't think it's relevant to the patch, and it means rewriting the 
routine.
