Put your hard disk on the ATA/66 bus, the ATA/100 one isn't supported
yet. You should also make sure you are using my latest kernel tree.

In order to get the ATA/100 working properly, I need to figure out
the way the various timings are configured on this new controller,
I've started disassembling the MacOS X driver but didn't finish yet.

Unfortunately, unlike the Apple's ATA/66 and earlier IDE controllers,
the source code for this new ones's driver haven't been open sourced
by Apple as part of Darwin. (At least not yet).

Ben.
