Decision time.... should NATA become the default for this release?

    Ok.  Hmm.  It looks ok.

    (1) Is your ATA device on the PCI bus or is it a legacy ISA device?
	Do a normal ATA boot and run pciconf -l.
Seems to be on the PCI bus. Here's the complete output:

	I'm a bit worried that it just stopped working entirely with the most
	recent update to HEAD.  The Intel chipinit code basically didn't
	change at all.
Sorry for not mentioning this earlier, it no longer is stuck at the 
sbin/init line but gets a bit further (just happened from one reboot to 
the other):

Why it was stuck at the sbin/init line earlier, don't ask me. I'm pretty 
sure that everything was recompiled properly.


    (2) Please try this patch.  I noticed that some bits in reg54
	were being improperly overwritten for UDMA2 mode.  If you look
	at the original code, the clause for UDMA5 overwrites the
	bits that were set or cleared for UDMA2.
The patch had no effect.
