Fantastic!  I was hoping such a thing could be done.  I figured since ahc
was already CAMified it wouldn't be too bad, but just getting FreeBSD
onto this box has become a challenge without IDE or AHC support.
Attempting to bootstrap from NetBSD at this late stage was a laughable
experience :(

I'm supposing IDE is waiting on the work Soren is reproducing from his
stolen machine/tapes as opposed to the atapibus/cam discussion on -alpha
late last year.  Currently NetBSD-current has support for ahc/ide, but
alas it's ST550 support is flaky...  The console barely works and it only
supports the TGA from X, which I don't have.
