Well, despite you guys telling me that the Tyan S2895 wouldn't be
well-supported, I got one anyway :) I'm having some trouble getting
the onboard SATA ports to work (at all... in the BIOS or in any OS)
that tech support is looking at, so in the meantime, I'm using an
Adaptec SATAConnect 1205SA controller. However, when I have the card
plugged in, booting the NetBSD/amd64 2.0.2 CD gives a "Disk read
error." The CD boots fine when the Adaptec card isn't plugged in...
maybe a bug in the BIOS's support for floppy emulation on boot CDs? I
seem to remember hearing about something like that a while back, and I
believe there was some talk into switching to a no emulation CD
(Windows XP and SUSE Linux CDs boot fine with and without the
Adaptec).

In any case, that's not the real problem... I set it up to PXE boot
the NetBSD/amd64 2.0.2 INSTALL kernel, and the satalink driver doesn't
work:

What's that mean, and what can I do about it? :) If you need more of
the boot messages, I can type more of it in, or see if I can set up a
serial console.
