So, thanks to a generous donation of a -current kernel (Thanks,
Andrei!), I got NetBSD to boot on my Ultra/5.  However, it has trouble
with my pciide.  I didn't see this as a known problem on the
port-sparc64 web page.

pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
        type: ata tc_bcount: 512 tc_skip: 0

the above lines repeat 4 times, and then I get:

wd0c: device timeout reading fsbn 0 ...

The above pattern repeats endlessly after the autoconfig code runs,
when the kernel's first trying to access the disk.  The one break from
the pattern is when it degrades from (I think) DMA 2 to PIO 4 mode.

Is this a known bug?  Is there something I can do about it?

Thanks in advance -- it's exciting to have BSD running on this box,
even if it is brief.

Chris
