That's not what I'm saying.. I'm just saying that most of our bootcode
wasn't derived from theirs. I don't know when their code was written,
or if it was derived from anything at all.

About IDE drive speed: I think NetBSD is the only OS which has it
enabled by default. Which makes a big difference for standard
installations. I haven't compared the speed once you actually enable
DMA features in FreeBSD or Linux, I would think the results weren't
all that far apart. Since I have a few systems with 4 OSs on them,
I'll try that sometime.
