Good stuff.

The diffs don't create the atapi files in quite the right place --
I had to create the /usr/src/sys/atapi directory by hand and move
the files from /usr/src.

To compile I had to add a scsi controller to the configuration
file.  I presume there is a way to tell config that we need the
SCSI files? (Any config gurus out there?)

Lets see if I've got this right:

I got a unit attention probe during boot.  (Full dmesg output
below.)  Note that the drive was identified correctly.  After boot
I just get the following error:

wdc0: lost interrupt
wdc0: lost interrupt
wdc0: lost interrupt
wdc0: lost interrupt
wdc0: lost interrupt
acd0(wdc0:1): illegal length indication 

Same deal trying to read the raw partitions.  (The machine's "disk
light" does go on, so I think the IDE interface is being used. The
CD ROM's light doesn't go on.)

Thoughts and suggestions about what to do next are welcome; I plan
to try another IDE disk as the master, just in case the disk is
the problem.

The machine is crash and burn, by the way (hence the IDE disks :-)
and so available for testing.

Giles
