[Sheflug] Promise ATA-100 controller.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

Hi all.

In my usual style, I'm bought a Promise Ultra100 controller, and now I'm 
sitting
here wondering how on Earth it works.

I've had a root around on Google, and it hasn't come back with too many
interesting things.

I'd like to boot both of my main drives from the controller, and have my
CDROM/CDRW on the onboard interface, as well as some older drives I've got.

 I'm running 2.4.0-test12, and I noticed that there is support for the
controller, I just don't know how it all goes together.

 Do I need initrd?

 I'm still at work, so I haven't actually plugged it in and played with it, 
but
I'd still like a few clues to get me started :-)

 Cheers.
