There are some problems on the G3s involving Open Firmware vs NetBSD
conflicts. In this case, if you boot from pciide in Open Firmware,
NetBSD can't touch it. If you boot from something else (network for
instance), pciide will work fine.

I was poking around this the other day, but didn't figure anything
out. (Haven't had much time for NetBSD hacking lately.) FTR, flipping
the '#if 0's to '#if 1' in sys/dev/pci/pci.c:pciprint() [to turn on
full PCI attachment debugging] and then booting with good pciide and
bad pciide doesn't show anything different (except a wdcintr syslog
that's unrelated to that).
