-current supports EIDE, but it (still) doesn't support it as an installation device because you need to uncomment the ata driver in GENERIC. Pretty much any ncr/symbioses based PCI card should work as a boot device, as well as a q-logic isp10x0. Adaptec (ahc) adaptors will work, but the SRM console doesn't understand how to boot from them.
