		When my notebooks powers down its hd it will need some
		time to get it ready again. This is acceptable to me,
		otherwise I would have disabled the power-saving feature.
		Every time the hd is restarted, I get a lot of

Sep 11 11:00:04 euterpe /netbsd: wdc0: lost interrupt: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 0
Sep 11 11:00:04 euterpe /netbsd: wdc0: warning: busy-wait took 354700us
