In attempting to check up on ata speeds, I get the most unusual string
for hw.atamodes:
---,pio,dma,---,---,---
Which would seem to indicate that there is no primary master. This
machine has 4 controllers, 2 ata66 and 2 ata100. The booting HDD is
plugged into the primary master ata100, but it seems to be showing up as
the secondary master on the ata66, is this normal?
