This works fine. I guess the real solution is to make the IDE disk scan
the same as we do for SCSI, which also happens to be the same as the
BIOS does. We possible need a config syntax like
controler wdc0 ...
controler wdc1 ...
device wd? ay wdc?
This will automatically assign numbers to drives as it finds them.
Actually I tried this syntax which config accepted OK, however no
drives got detected.
Anyway for me at least a kernel config file tweak got me booting with
spash screens. If you want my system to be a test bed for any mods,
please let me know.
Cheers.
