pciconf -lv - /dev/pci error

[William Michael Grim]

Good call; I do in fact have securelevel enabled.  I would like to keep it
enabled if possible.  Is there any way to get to /dev/pci while in
securelevel 2, or do I have to temporarily drop the securelevel through
sysctl?

Many thanks in advance.
