I also found that the old installer bug which prevents CD-ROM drive
detection on Atari is still there. I had to spawn a shell to run these
commands:

# modprobe pata-falcon
# modprobe isofs
# mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom

Then the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step then worked. (You can use
falconide and /dev/hdX instead.)

Yes, this is known and I currently don't know how to fix this. Again, if someone
knows how to make the installer load the modules, please let me know. I assume
the problem is that there is no autodetection here so udev can't load the
modules automatically.

drivers/ide/falconide.c and drivers/ata/pata_falcon.c should be converted
to proper platform drivers, matching against a platform device registered
in arch/m68k/atari/config.c.

And that's going to help with autoloading modules?

In this particular instance, both drivers would need to bind to the same platform device - how do we handle this case?

pata_falcon.c is probably easiest to convert, and should be sufficient to test with the installer. falconide.c is going away in two years anyway, and I can't test these changes on my hardware, so I'd rather leave this one alone.

Cheers,
