Yes, i kinda thought I'd have to build a new kernel.  No Linux systems in
my organization, FreeBSD and OpenBSD, oh and Solaris.  Sounds like my best
option would be to setup NetBSD on something else and then build a new
kernel.

I was hoping maybe someone had a kernel "lying around" with pciide
disabled.  :-)  As many problems as I've seen with pciide not working
correctly on i386 systems.
