Log:
   Add raw RX-50 support. These are 400k single sided disks with 80
   tracks and 10 sectors per track. More exotic RX-50 types not
   supported, nor is there support for de-interleaving the first two
   tracks where the physical sectors are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, but they
   should be interpreted as 0 5 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9. This is purely to read
   the media with dd. The FAT that's on these disks won't work with
   msdosfs anyway.


A week ago I sorted some stuff and found my old "Western Digital 93044-a" 43.2 MiB IDE HDD. Unfortunately, I couldn't read it under FreeBSD because HDD doesn't support LBA addressing and FreeBSD doesn't support CHS anymore. At first I thought that this is right to drop support of such old hardware, but after this commit may be I should write a patch that brings back CHS-addressing support :)
