Thanks for the tip, but I can't try that since I don't have a working
Windows partition :-( But it looks like maybe it's already configured
that way:
$ dmesg | grep ata1
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
acd0: CDROM <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1902B> at ata1-master using PIO4
In the mean time, I've cooked up a scheme with ideas from Greg Smith
that'll probably work. I extracted the 4.3 version of /stand/sysinstall
from the mfsroot floppy (using another machine's floppy drive: mount,
cp, unzip, vnconfig, mount). I've pulled that over the the ThinkPad via
FTP and plan to just run it in single-user mode with all filesystems
mounted and all fingers crossed for good luck.
