This message is filled with terminology which may not be correct.  I'm not 
sure what's a device or a controller or an interface.  Please correct when 
I've gone wrong.  <thanks>

I have a IDE card contains two IDE interfaces (i.e. you can attach two IDE 
cables to it).  One is marked IDE/VLB, the other IDE/ISA.  I've been 
running wd0 and wcd0 using IDE/ISA.

I'm trying to add a new disk to this system.  I tried adding wdc1 to the 
kernel, but that just makes things freeze.  Then I had a thought: what 
about making wd1 refer to wdco drive 2?  That's compiling now.

But in the mean time, can anyone point me in the right direction?  Should 
I be added a new IDE controller or just a disk to my kernel?

cheers.
