Turn on IDE busmastering in your BIOS.  Note the syntax of the warning
"not configured".  That's a message from the chipset driver daying
"why is this channel not configured for DMA?".  It should probably
just list the ports on which DMA is available and enabled/not enabled,
but this is, after all, only beta-level code.

(Damn fine beta-level code if you ask me, but all the same..)
