- 386BSD asks the controller about the drive geometry instead of believing
- the CMOS settings. If your CMOS settings don't match what the controller
- says, you have "translated drive" problems.
-
- Get the ide_conf.exe file from your favorite archive to find out about your
- drive... despite its name, it's useful for translated drives other than
- just IDE drives.
