I've just tried installing NetBSD/i386 1.5 on my Compaq Armada 7400 using
the laptop install, and didn't go so well.  The kernel fails to detect the
laptop's hard drive (currently it's home to a Windows 98 install).  Just
wondering if anyone else has encountered something similar.

The dmesg output includes the following "pciide0: device disabled (at device)"
which seems like it might be a bad thing.  Here's the full dmesg output I
get from the install kernel:
