If you can build a kernel, look in /sys/dev/isa/aha1542.c for
something like this:

	if (inquire.boardid == 0x43 || inquire.boardid == 0x44 ||
	    inquire.boardid == 0x45) {

and change it to:

	if (inquire.boardid >= 0x43) {

and it should work fine.  This is fixed in -current (as far as I know;
nobody with a -CP has actually reported back to me).
