That sounds like the offical party line, or part of it.  (I'm not 
a spokesman.)

I've never used an "a" box.  I don't know much about them. I think 
I saw a message about IDE disks working.  (That's what caught my 
eye and made me jump into this discussion.)  So some sort of console 
must work too. 

How many people are running Miatas with IDE disks?  What console 
are you using?

The problem is that if things get too general, then there isn't enough 
info to figure out how to configure a system that works.

I can probably make a first pass...

Can you take a chunk of raw text to insert?  Or do you need diffs 
that include the html stuff?
