Brilliant idea and ditto! I suppose that in the fullness of time it
would be great to have a driver that worked with the BIOS enabled, but
I disabled it and 5.1.0pre5 works. I've run fdisk and am running
mke2fs and a tarpipe install of my diskless root stuff. I'll then
recut an SMP kernel and (shudder) try to embed aic7xxx inside instead
of loading as a module.
Super work, Doug and Patrick!
