To get there (not for the faint of heart): - Install using the 'normal' IDE controller - Apply above patches, rebuild, install and test kernel - Add devices to /dev, at the very least: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV ad4 sh MAKEDEV ad4s1 - Change /etc/fstab, replace all ad0 with ad4 - Shut down, plug the drive into the ATA/100 controller - Et voila... However it is easy to shut yourself out of the system, so don't ask me for support if something goes wrong, you have been warned!
