I should have also said that all of my SATA disks are organized
into md raid devices and that's what I ran into trouble booting
from. I've been told it can be done, I just had the PATA drive
available and it was the path of least resistance :)
On a side note, with a raid0 stripe across the PATA and 4*SATA
raptors, I'm getting sustained 240+ megabytes/second read and
write :) Makes for a very nice /tmp ...
