I tried using a PCMCIA IBM Microdrive on a 2.0rc4 system. It was
detected twice:
wdc2 at pcmcia1 function 0
atabus2 at wdc2 channel 0
wd1 at atabus2 drive 0: <IBM-DMDM-10340>
wd1: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA addressing
wd1: 342 MB, 695 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 700560 sectors
wd2 at atabus2 drive 1: <ST506>
wd2: drive supports 1-sector PIO transfers, chs addressing
wd2: 69632 KB, 1024 cyl, 8 head, 17 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 139264 sectors
wd1 has the right size
Disklabel saw it twice, too:
# disklabel wd1

disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0
disklabel: partition e: partition extends past end of unit
I mounted both of them, read-only; I saw the same thing. I didn't try
reading anything more than the FAT, and I didn't dare try writing to it.
One caveat: I do have some fixes of my own devising in the wd driver, so
I'm not certain it's a NetBSD bug. Has anyone else seen anything like that?
