Right, the problem comes from enabling CMD646 but not ide-pmac.  Right now
to use any IDE chipset on a pmac, you need to say yes to "Builtin PowerMac
IDE support" and whichever chipset you have (to boot at least, I'll check
being able to use it once I can boot off something else, but it sounds
like there might be a problem there as well).
