Happens on an IBM Thinkpad 755 (older model, 486/75), at the moment
sysinstall accesses the disk the first time. Eventually it will then
panic for `going to nowhere without my init'. No idea which
controller, it's not a PCI machine so nothing known about it.
When making ata the default driver, i'd vote for keeping one instance
of a wdc driver (disabled by default) so the bottleneck of not being
able to install in such a case could be circumvented. If space goes
scarce, we could always throw out matcdc, scd, mcd and wt from the
installation floppies... I guess their user base has been rapidly
fading during the last years. scd is only confusing people anyway
since more than one luser so far assumed this stands for `SCSI CD'.
