Anyone got a pointer to the relevant boot floppy or whatever I need?
While I'm at it, -current still crashes on my Promise EIDE controller until
I apply the clever patch to force it into some specific address range. Anyone

volunteer as a guinea pig to get it fixed so I don't have to keep a patched
kernel. :)
