    I've tried a bunch of different things to no avail. OF does not (ever)
list the slave drive in the device tree even if I go through and manually do
a bus reset and probe-device. Whatever numbers I seem to try it always
reverts back to the master device (the Matshita CR-585 in this case). If
NetBSD can do it right, why can't OF. Is this likely an OF 2.0f1 problem?
Anyone here have a revision 2 Beige G3 (the one that does support
master/slave) that could quote their OF version and possibly dump their
entire device tree to see if I can come up with something different besides
the faster ATI chip?
    Just so I know, is the SCSI syntax something like scsi-int/[device
id]:[LUN],[partition number] ? If you can figure out what the ATA/IDE syntax
is that would be helpful. Another thought: Has anyone tried attaching a disk
manually in OF with make-child-of or something like that?
    I'm going to try some boot magic with a boot floppy and passing -a to
see if I can boot the slave HD from the floppy booter, thus letting me use
my CD again in MacOS.
    Any thoughts/insights welcome.
