Cool.

I don't know if I've echo'd this on this list or not.. I've had it
working on my system for a couple of weeks now (shortly after
it was committed to -current).

I'm having problems with it talking to sd3 on bootup, but I haven't
dug out the specific reason or cause.  It might just be the 2742
flaking out on me.

For those who are interested in this problem.. This system has
sd0, sd1, sd2, and cd0 already.  When I try to boot it up with
sd3, the kernel drops out with "panic: ahe0 - unknown state".
(Or something similiar, this is off of memory)

The part that I find quite odd is that it worked fine three days
before (I connected it up so that I could disklabel and newfs it)

*shrug*  I'll tinker some more to see if I can chase it down.
