>Description:
	
NetBSD/i386 1.0 works with my wd1, but 1.1 (and a -current kernel from
about May) doesn't.  This seems backwards to me, and I'd much rather
be running 1.1 than 1.0.
System:
	Magnavox HeadStart 386-33 w' 387, 16-bit ISA, on-board IDE
controller,
wd0: seagate st1144at, 1001c, 15t, 16s
wd1: quantum lps540at, 1120c, 15t, 59s

>How-To-Repeat:
I can boot 1.0 from floppy or wd0, disklabel wd1, newfs wd1e, and then
successfully fsck or mount and copy lots of files without trouble.

Under 1.1, I can boot from floppy or wd0, disklabel wd1, newfs wd1e,
but fsck -f fails with about 20K of errors.  If I do fsck -f -y and
then another fsck -f, the errors involve (mostly) the same spots on
the disk, as far as I bothered to look.

I know the drive works under DOS, because I can install a disk overlay
(DrivePro), fdisk, format, xcopy c: to d:, and successfully scandisk
it.  Files appear to be there, and programs run off of d:.
