it should probably go here and not to d-devel.

I was going to stop after the last email, but I found something
interesting:
If you use the (potato) udma66 floppy images, do a system install, and then
choose "make a boot floppy"...
that floppy WILL NOT WORK, to boot off an hpt/udma66 drive.
You have to change the syslinux.cfg to add the appropriate
APPEND ide2=0x####,0x####
hack.
( then it presumably wont be using the proper HPT updated driver, but at
least you can get to the hpt drive again)
and since I'm replying publically after all now;

but that is not user-friendly at all. There should be a *single* unified
.bat file at the top level, that prompts the user, with a brief
explaination as to why there is a choice.
