That's better.  When I next build a FOURMEG kernel, it'll have support for
the hard disc, which I believe will work.

Hmm.  I think I need to try issuing Service_Reset or whatever it is that
the arm32 bootloader does.  Failing that, I'll need a working fdc driver.

Interesting.  The standard Arc keyboard is layout 1, so I wonder what's
different.  FWIW, the layout switching is currently broken, since the
arckbd driver doesn't find out the layout of the keyboard till after it's
attached the wskbd device.  I'll fix this some day.  In the meantime,
you'll get the standard UK layout -- tell me if anything's obviously
broken.

That's normal for an ARM3.

I'm not sure.  The current RAM situation on arm26 makes putting anything
extra in the kernel a little hard.

Urgh.  I claim that kind of thing's a job for an MI driver, and hence
Somebody Else's Problem.
