I've installed RiscBSD (developer's release + updated kernels/sets) onto
a SA RiscPC. The disc is a Quantum Fireball 2.1GB. It works fine from
the internal IDE, but when I switch the drive to a Simtec IDE interface
as the only device on the primary channel, I start to have problems.
Everything works fine from RISC OS and UnixFS is able to read the kernel
so that I can boot natively. However, drives aren't allocated on the
Simtec IDE bus and I get the following error when the podules are
interrogated:

simide0 at podulebus0 [ podule 0 ]:card/cable fault (cs)

cs suggests cable select to me, so I have checked the devices thoroughly
and also tried adding another drive as a slave. Any ideas? It is weird
that everything works fine from RISC OS, but not from RiscBSD.
