I'm not sure if the driver can actually even test out which IRQ the
drive is connected to.  It simply assumes the IRQ as given by config
(i.e., before compiling the kernel) is correct.

To get started, boot with ``-c'' and set manually

config> irq mcd0 32
config> quit

(Note that the value given for `irq' is actually 2^5; this has been
a bug in FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE.  You can check the effect with `ls'.)

Once you've succesfully installed, build a new kernel that matches
your hardware.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
