That reminds me, there is currenly no way to boot with
ide0=ata33, right ?

I have a tyan motherboard with a serverworks chipset, and the
(2.5" system-) disk is connected with a 40 pins cable. However
the serverworks chipset doesn't detect this, and tries to run
it in UDMA<lots> mode. That results in lots of nasty messages
before it falls back to UDMA33 mode.

Could you put a way to force it into UDMA33 (UDMA2) mode on the
wishlist, please ?

Mike.
