Please note that this issue is not a biggy for me.  The affected system is
an old one (Pentium 60!) and should be replaced.

Here is some dmesg:

...
ide_pci0: <PCI IDE controller (not busmaster capable)> port 0x3f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1ff at device 4.0 on pci0
ide_pci0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims
...
wdc0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa0
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): < TEKRAM DC-6X0X IDE cacheing controller>
wd0: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: driver is using old-style compatability shims
...

Note the controller's name where the disk's name should be....
