hmm:

EATA0: address 0x1f0 in use, skipping probe.
EATA0: address 0x170 in use, skipping probe.
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.

something is already getting at it.  The controller does make some kind
of attempt to boot from the cd, at least sometimes--i get a reference
when there is no hard disk partition bootable.

So how do i clear whatever has its grubby paws on the controller?
