I would summarize:

- ide=reverse solved certain problems and I am not sure if there are
users who still need this option

I remember that the disks of the old box are still in a drawer and today,
I will try to reanimate the system and see if grub's ability to map
drives helps to boot the system without ide=reverse. I'll report later.
