 Knock on wood, but I've been running -current/i386 with an IDE drive since
 day one and I've never had *any* problems with my IDE drive.  I've been
 using NetBSD-current since June or so (whenever 0.9 was released).
 
 In August I added a SCSI drive and adapter, but I've been using the IDE
 drive as my root filesystem since then.
 
 My setup:
 
 Micronics JX-30 VLB motherboard (Gateway)
 	(IDE controller is built-in and on VLB)
 WD AC2340 Caviar 340MB HD
