Too friggin' hard to test Alan's stuff for older IDE here, therefore
ignored so far :( I have some old hardware that Alan is addressing,
even an old IBM 260MB PCMCIA HDD.

I can't see an easy way to arrange multi-boot with different /etc/fstab
depending if I'm trying /dev/hdaX or /dev/sdaX. Parallel '/' partitions?


Plus, 2.6.18-rcX fails too early in boot on one machine (p100 IBM 365X)
for any testing. Suggestions welcome...

Grant.
