Thank you for the info everyone...

I did find someone else (google) that used libmap.conf, however, my
newly installed system does not have this file. Can someone please
provide a sample of what a line in this file looks like, for my
particular issue above?

Thanks again, I feel confident that this problem is far less an issue
than I first thought...
