Even after all of that, I never did get my UDMA/66 drive booting. It
simply spits an 'LI' at me and that's it. Andre Hedrick's HPT366 notes
say that booting support isn't yet available for the chipset. I tend to
believe him.
I've now got the UDMA/66 drive on the normal IDE controller and I'm
using it like that.
