So am I.  I think the problem is that the wd.c based DMA stuff doesn't
support ultra-DMA, and unless you tell your BIOS to no do ultra-DMA
it will barf up a printf for each transfer to the device.  How to
write things like this in a README file has repeatedly been proven
to be beyond my capabilities.
