The driver author made a mistake.  You can boot off drives connected to
the HPT366 controller.  Take a look here:

However I still suggest you connect your disk to the UDMA/33 channels
for the time being, because /dev/hde to /dev/hdh do not exist on the
boot floppies, thus there will be no easy way installing Debian on to
a disk on HPT366.
